About
The Modernized spherical glass satellite “BLITZ-M” is a passive satellite specifically designed for the calibration of quantum-optical stations. It was released in 2013 and is constructed from a glass retroreflector, which consists of two hemispherical menisci and a central glass ball. This design allows it to reflect laser signals back to ground stations for precise calibration purposes.
