Scientific paper

JPL is constructing an Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory (OCTL) at its Table Mountain Facility complex in the San Bernadino Mountains of Southern California. The OCTL will house a 1-m class telescope and serve as an R&D ground station supporting future optical communications demonstrations with Earth-orbiting satellites and deep space probes. It will also support research in adaptive optics, optical receiver technologies, and help in developing spacecraft acquisition and tracking strategies from future optical ground stations. The OCTL building was completed in November 1999, and Brashear-LP of Pittsburgh, PA has been selected to build the telescope. First light is expected in July 2001.
