1. An optical communications transceiver for use in free space communication between a satellite and a ground station, the optical communications transceiver comprising an array of transceivers configured to enable the optical communications transceiver to transmit and receive signals over a plurality of angles, wherein the array of transceivers conformally mountable on a surface of the satellite, and
a time delay component configured to adjust a delay for each error based upon timing errors between one or more of the transceivers in the array of transceivers located at different locations within the optical communication transceiver.
