Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The laser beam should be aimed along your line of sight to the space station. This is because the atmosphere of the Earth causes the laser beam to bend as it travels from your location to the space station. By aiming along your line of sight, the laser beam will be affected by the least amount of atmospheric distortion and will be able to reach the space station more effectively. If you were to aim above or below your line of sight, the laser beam would have to travel through more atmosphere, causing even more distortion and reducing the effectiveness of the beam.
