Abstract
Computer simulations are used to demonstrate the feasibility of operat ing a low-order adaptive optics system for observation of bright low-e arth orbiting satellites during daylight hours. The system considered includes speckle postprocessing of partially compensated focal plane i mages to produce reconstructions with resolution near the diffraction limit of the telescope.
