Uplink beacon laser for Mars laser communication demonstration (MLCD)

The requirements and design concepts for a ground-based laser assembly for transmitting an uplink beacon to a Mars bound spacecraft, carrying a laser communications terminal, are reported. The effects of the atmosphere are analyzed and drive the multi-beam design.
