SCANNING LASER BEACON FOR SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01S1/70 B64G1/36 G05D1/00 

Abstract RU 2462732 C1

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: scanning laser beacon has a housing, a laser light source mounted in a scanning unit, a base and an axle. The device includes an anamorphic optical system mounted in the scanning unit on the same optical axis as the laser light source. The axis around which the scanning unit rotates lies at an angle of 120° to said optical axis, and the anamorphic optical system is a wide-angle lens in a section perpendicular to the scanning direction, said lens having a 90° field of view. A rotating drive, which is in mechanical connection with the scanning unit, rotates 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.
