Built specifically for the commissioning of the laser communication terminal on-board Artemis, the OGS (Optical Ground Station)is also operating as Europe's first post for observing space debris in geostationary transfer orbits. For that purpose, a sophisticated liquid nitrogen cooled CCD camera and focal reducer are part of the system.
