The video camera was placed at the top of the telescope tube.

Sequence of experiments
Calculation of Kirari's orbit Programmed tracking start Laser transmission start from NICT OGS (El. =15 deg.) Immediately, reception of laser beam from satellite During about 6 minutes, successful tracking Laser transmission end from Kirari at the end of the planned experiment time Laser transmission end from NICT OGS (El. =15 deg.)
