Abstract
We present a Laser Guide Star small satellite to formation fly with a large space observatory or with a ground telescope that uses AO. We describe deployment of 18 Laser Guide Stars to L2 to assist LUVOIR. We present a design reference mission for a laser guide star satellite in GEO with 6.5+ meter ground telescopes with AO.
