Introduction

The International Conference on Space Optical Systems and Applications (ICSOS) covers technologies, procedures and algorithms that relate to free-space laser communications. The domain of the applications includes terrestrial, near-Earth and deep space (planetary). Areas of interest include components, devices, subsystems, systems (flight and ground), applications, laboratory and field demonstrations, algorithms, link models, signaling techniques and concept of operations.

The venue of the ICSOS conference alternates every second (odd) year between US and Japan and is associated with the International Conference on Space Optics (ICSO), which takes place in Europe in the (even) years in between.
