Creation of light-emitting diode optical beacons for spacecraft

A successful development of the semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) technology made it possible to design efficient high-power light emission sources with small weight-and-size parameters. The technical characteristics of these LEDs allow one to use them as optical beacons on spacecraft. The application of LED optical beacons jointly with other equipment is intended to improve navigation support of space programs.
