The Low-power Atmospheric Compensation Experiment (LACE) was built by NRL as part of SDIO's research program. The satellite was a 1.4 x 1.4 x 1.2m box with 4 panels, gravity gradient stabilized. It was to observe ground-based laser light to study ways of compensating for atmospheric distortion. However, reports indicated that by Jun 1990 little useful data had been obtained, and it was concluded that the laser reflectors were inefficient.
