This was achieved primarily by reducing the emission aperture of the laser to a diameter of less than half a millimetre in order to weaken the light signal.
The Oerlikon team installed the transmission unit in a container beside the Nordic Optical Telescope at an altitude of 2400 metres on Roque de los Muchachos, the highest mountain on La Palma in the Canary Islands.
