Abstract

A system and method for impingement detection and pointing correction ("IPDC") in an optical intersatellite link ("OISL") is provided. The system includes an optical terminal, an IPDC system, and a steering module. The optical terminal receives a laser signal from a second satellite via the OISL and outputs signal measurement parameters based on the laser signal. The IPDC system determines a plurality of angle corrections using (i) a mapping of a predetermined impinged pointing angle of the optical terminal and a corresponding angle correction; or (ii) a machine learning model configured to receive the signal measurement parameters as input and output the angle correction. The IPDC system determines a pointing correction based on the signal measurement parameters and the angle correction. The steering module steers the optical terminal based on the pointing correction.
