Paper Session I-A - Starlab Overview
Stariab, a test bed designed to be flown on NASA\u27s Space Shuttle, will be used to conduct a series of acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) experiments that are relevant to the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) Mission. In the primary experiment, Stariab will acquire, track, and precisely point a laser beam at an instrumented 4-stage booster rocket known as Starbird. Simultaneously, booster plume data will be collected at a variety of wavelengths and at resolutions never before achieved in space. Stariab will also be used to demonstrate advanced adaptive optics techniques using a booster plume source, rapid optical retargeting, and laser communications from space to below the ocean\u27s surface. In addition, Stariab will be used to collect data on earthspace backgrounds and on adaptive optics systems used to compensate for atmospheric turbulence
