Claim 17:
18. A system for mutual pointing of laser beams, the system comprising:
a plurality of units, each of the plurality of units comprising at least one laser for sending a laser beam, one or more steering mirrors, and a position sensitive detector (PSD),
wherein each of the plurality of units sends an associated laser beam to at least one other unit in the plurality of units,
wherein the PSD of each of the plurality of units adjusts positioning and/or steering of the associated laser beam by obtaining positioning and/or steering information from laser beams sent by one or more other units in the plurality of units,
wherein, for each of the plurality of units:
(i) a first steering mirror in the one or more steering mirrors receives an incoming laser beam from the at least one other unit in the plurality of units, and
(ii) a second, separate steering mirror in the one or more steering mirrors contacts the associated laser beam before the associated laser beam passes to the at least one other unit in the plurality of units.
