ST2C was founded 2010 by Wolfgang Steinert and Uwe Sterr to support companies and institutions to excel technically in the field of satellite telecommunication utilising microwave or optical technology. ST2C offers support to develop laser terminals based on experience ranging from system design, simulation and years of in orbit operation of LEO, GEO and ground based laser communication systems. ST2C is now applying machine learning to improve spatial acquisition and to simplify laser communication terminal design. Projects of ST2C in laser communication - Teledesic - TerraSAR - NFIRE - Sentinel - TDP1 on Alphasat - EUROPEAN DATA RELAY SATELLITE SYSTEM (EDRS) Project partners have been: - Tesat-Spacecom - DLR - ESA - MDA - General Dynamics - Aerospace - Audens - AdMOS - Fichtner - Skyloom Please visit the “Publications” site to get an overview of ST2C activities at https://www.st2c.de/blogs/publications/
