An initial acquisition method in ATP of optical communication between satellite and ground station is proposed based on GPS coordinate calculation.Block diagrams of the beacon tracking system are presented first.By calculating the coordinates of GPS and satellite,the optical antenna′s azimuth angle and elevation angle are obtained.According to the angles obtained the optical antenna is rotated to aim at the beacon and leads it into the view field of CCD in coarse tracking.The GPS coordinates is calculated and the stimulation curves of the azimuth angle of beacon vs the satellite coordinates are presented.A two-dimensional electric motor is adopted in the acquisition experiment of rotary platform.Based on the collected data,the initial acquisition of beacon can be achieved rapidly by GPS coordinate calculation.
