About
The “Pyramid” retroreflector system is a specialized piece of space hardware developed for the ‘Condor-FKA’ spacecraft. Its primary purpose is the re-reflection of laser radiation towards a quantum-optical station’s photodetector. This process is crucial for the precise calibration of the spacecraft’s on-board equipment. The system is characterized by its small size and consists of four individual angle reflectors, which are essential components for achieving accurate laser re-reflection. The product was released in 2016.
