FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: scanning laser beacon has a housing and a laser light source mounted in a scanning unit in a gimbal suspension. The device includes an anamorphic optical system mounted in the scanning unit on the same optical axis as the laser light source. The axis of the gimbal suspension is perpendicular to said optical axis, and the anamorphic optical system is a fisheye lens in a section perpendicular to the scanning direction. A swinging drive, which is in mechanical connection with the scanning unit, swings in the scanning plane.
EFFECT: possibility of detecting a passive spacecraft in half the solid angle at distances of up to 160 km when pointing an active spacecraft on said passive spacecraft.
