Abstract
These last years have seen a raising interest for ground to GEO satellites optical very high throughput links, i.e. GEO-feeder links, or GEO-FL. However, despite their potential, these applications have to overcome atmospheric turbulence, which requires the development of mitigation techniques, such as adaptive optics (AO). In the case of GEO-FL, AO performance is limited by the Point-Ahead Angle (PAA) induced anisoplanatism. We describe here how our feedback on our field experiments helped us to design ONERA’s AO-compensated ground station, FEELINGS, and the status of said ground station in the fall of 2022.
