Abstract

A laser beam transmission system comprises a laser beam system and a controller that controls the laser beam system. The controller is configured to direct a laser beam at a location nearest to a maximum of an uncertainty area in which a satellite is expected to be located. The controller is configured to move the laser beam from the location to a next location nearest to the maximum of the uncertainty area in response to not receiving a confirmation that the satellite is at the location. The next location becomes a current location for the laser beam. The controller is configured to continue to move the laser beam from the current location to the next location nearest to the maximum of the uncertainty area from the current location in response to not receiving the confirmation that the satellite has received the laser beam.
