Scientific paper

This article describes optical subnets of ground based receiving stations for earth-space optical communications. The optical subnet concepts presented here provide full line-of-sight coverage of the ecliptic, 24 hours a day, with high weather availability. The technical characteristics of the optical station and the user terminal are presented as well as the effects of cloud cover, transmittance through the atmosphere, and impact of background noise for day or night time operation upon the communication link. In addition, candidate geographic sites are identified, and a link design for a hypothetical Pluto mission in 2015 is included.
