The article describes a mathematical model of the laser radiation reflection by a
compound Luneburg lens as a part of the reference microsatellite “Blits”. The trajectory
of beam propagation inside the lens and angular characteristics of the reflected beams
are determined. The magnitude of velocity aberration and additional bending of light
beams with respect to the ground receiver was determined by numerical calculations.
This factors should be taken into consideration in satellite laser ranging of spacecrafts
making up the GLONASS.
Keywords:
Luneburg lens, gradient lens, dispersion equation, satellite reflector, laser
ranging.
