[Laser] Earth moon communications

[Glenn Thomas]

Iona -

Can you tell us a bit more about your system requirements? For 
example, how much bandwidth is it supposed to provide? How reliable 
is it supposed to be? Is it supposed to communicate between earth and 
moon or communicate between two places on earth by bouncing a laser 
off the moon? Any cost constraints? Any constraints on where the 
communications stations can be located? Safety constraints on the laser itself?

A few months (February/March) ago here was a fairly extensive thread 
on here about bouncing lasers off the moon or possibly off the Apollo 
laser reflectors. You might take a look at it.

Good luck.
