Optical Satellite Downlinks have gathered increasing attention in the last years. A number of experimental payloads have become available, and downlink experiments are conducted around the globe. One of these experimental systems is SOTA, the Small Optical Transponder, built by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). This paper describes the downlink experiments carried out from SOTA to the German Aerospace Center’s Optical Ground Stations located in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. Both the Transportable Optical Ground Station (TOGS) as well as the fixed Optical Ground Station Oberpfaffenhofen (OGS-OP) are used for the experiments. This paper will explain the preparatory work, the execution of the campaign, as well as show the first results of the measurements.
