Abstract:
A combined system for imaging and communication by laser signals including a telescope ( 10 ) in which the primary ( 1 ) and secondary ( 2 ) mirrors are shared between an imaging function and a function involving the emission of laser transmission signals. The accuracy required for the direction of emission (DE) of the laser transmission signals is obtained by additionally placing a geolocation device on board a satellite carrying the combined system. No coarse pointing assembly is used and it is also possible for the system to be devoid of any fine pointing assembly and target acquisition and tracking detector.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for communication by laser signals, implemented on board a satellite in orbit around the Earth and in accordance with  claim 9 , the method comprising the following steps:\n a. receiving geolocation signals, then calculating a position of the satellite from the geolocation signals received; b. from the position of the satellite calculated in step a, and from the coordinates of the laser communication receiver external to said satellite, calculating the target direction for laser transmission signals to be emitted from the satellite towards the laser communication receiver; then c. orienting the satellite in accordance with the calculated target direction, then activating the source of laser radiation in order to emit the laser transmission signals towards the laser communication receiver, wherein step a is executed multiple times during one revolution of the satellite in its orbit, and steps b and c are executed using the satellite position as calculated in the latest execution of step a.
