The rapid development of various kinds of aerospace application systems requires the appropriate high-accuracy time and frequency standard. This problem can be effectively solved by establishing suitable time and frequency standard in aerospace. Based on the establishment of aerospace satellite visual model, the simulation of satellite visual time on 3-layer constellation structure, including GEO satellite, IGSO satellites and MEO satellites, has been conducted. The visual features of this constellation have been gained. Combining with the major influencing factors of satellite clock correction error, aerospace time synchronization architecture on the basis of layering has been proposed. The time synchronization algorithm in line with this architecture has been researched. The results show that aerospace time frequency standard established based on this layering time synchronization architecture can meet the demand on high-accuracy time frequency of future aerospace application systems.

Angle of arrival (AOA), time of arrival (TOA), and frequency of arrival (FOA) can be measured for a signal from multiple platforms. By combining such measurements it is possible to obtain high-accuracy emitter position estimates. This requires a data link with low latency and sufficient data-rate, and synchronization of the platforms in space, time, and search pattern. Typically several of the platforms will have to make their measurements in the radar sidelobes that require very high receiver sensitivity. This paper focuses on discussing how the sensitivity can be improved using antenna gain or signal processing.

Automation of the mounting of cryocooled samples is now a feature of the majority of beamlines dedicated to macromolecular crystallography (MX). Robotic sample changers have been developed over many years, with the latest designs increasing capacity, reliability and speed. Here, the development of a new sample changer deployed at the ESRF beamline MASSIF-1 (ID30A-1), based on an industrial six-axis robot, is described. The device, named RoboDiff, includes a high-capacity dewar, acts as both a sample changer and a high-accuracy goniometer, and has been designed for completely unattended sample mounting and diffraction data collection. This aim has been achieved using a high level of diagnostics at all steps of the process from mounting and characterization to data collection. The RoboDiff has been in service on the fully automated endstation MASSIF-1 at the ESRF since September 2014 and, at the time of writing, has processed more than 20 000 samples completely automatically.

By using narrow infrared (IR) beams, optical wireless communication (OWC) system can realize ultra-high capacity and high-privacy transmission. However, due to the point-to-point connection approach, a high-accuracy localization system and beam-steering antenna (BSA) are required to steer the signal beam to user terminals. In addition, to achieve link alignment in the receiver, the BSA needs to be within the limited receiver field of view (FoV). This problem greatly limits the practical application of high-capacity IR optical wireless communication and has not been well solved yet. In this paper, we proposed an indoor beam-steering IR OWC system with high-accuracy and calibration-free localization ability by employing a coaxial frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system. In the meantime, benefit from the mm-level ranging accuracy of the LiDAR system, a feasible approach to deal with the link alignment issue for practical applications is firstly demonstrated. With the assistance of the LiDAR system, we experimentally achieved the localization of user terminals with a 0.038-degree localization accuracy, link alignment at the receiver and an error-free on-off keying (OOK) downlink transmission of 20 Gb/s in free space at 3-m distance is demonstrated.
