[Laser] Aerospace Laser/strobelight Use Coordination

[Pat Barthelow]

Does anyone know the Points of contact within the FAA and other regulating bodies, that manage optical aerospace experiments between ground locations and, for example the ISS?

Another question; in a very dark area of the country, 50 miles from Major City lights, etc, How much incandescent lamp power does one need for astronauts in the ISS to see a flashing signal lamp?  In a dark area, or rural neighborhood, would a properly aimed flashing, 500 watt flood lamp be easily seen by an astronaut at 200 miles?

73,    All the best,
