The sun is pretty small compared to space, something like .0005% of the full sky sphere, and almost half that time it's covered by Earth. Since there's no atmospheric glare in space, I suspect it's not a problem given decent engineering.
- londons_explore 8y agoThere are still internal reflections within the optical system - glare from that will likely be much larger than atmospheric glare
- Veedrac 8y agoGiven communication is point-to-point, and very coherent, I'd think this is extremely easy to solve if glare in the system was a real issue. Aim the receiver through a tube (or array of tubes) painted black, for instance. Certainly easier than building an equally precise telescope.
