Paper Abstract
We have validated an autonomous acquisition scheme that is critical for achieving data transfer over proximity links
with ranges up to a few thousand kilometers. The sun-illuminated International Space Station (ISS) against a dark sky
background during terminator passes over Southern California was used to validate the autonomous acquisition and
tracking scheme. A root mean square (rms) accuracy of 83 μrad was achieved.
