Abstract
Many space laser communication demonstrations have been conducted so far and the time has come when space laser communications can be used as operational systems. In this paper, recent activities on space laser communications in Japan are presented which include the world first in-orbit verification of space laser communications onboard micro-satellites and the future plan to conduct the basic satellite quantum key distribution experiments.
