Laser Communications - NASA Overcoming Obstacles While laser communications can provide increased data transfer rates, atmospheric disturbances — such as clouds and turbulence — can disrupt laser signals as they enter Earth’s atmosphere
Satellite Lasercom - MIT Technology Roadmapping Satellite Laser Communication (LaserCom) is a method of transferring data through an optical link using an onboard high-power laser system This breaks from the historically standard Radio Frequency (RF) communication that has been used for satellites uplink and downlink since their inception
Laser Communications - MIT Lincoln Laboratory We develop, build, and operate prototype space and airborne laser communication (lasercom) terminals The technology developed and the lessons learned from these activities are transferred to external partners through participation in standards groups and through the operation of a gold-standard test infrastructure
LASERCOM KEY TO BUILDING INTERNET IN SPACE - The Aerospace Corporation The extremely narrow beamwidth of lasercom links also means that they are not ideal for broadcast communications Whereas an RF link can be transmitted across a broad area for many users simultaneously, lasercom links are best suited for point-to-point communications that require dedicated high data rate links
State of Play: Lasercom Key to Building Internet In Space With major government and commercial programs poised to leverage lasercom, the technology is positioned to deliver the winning combo of high-bandwidth and low-latency needed to expand the internet into space and deliver global, low-latency communications
What’s Next: The Future of NASA’s Laser Communications On Dec 7, 2021, the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) launched into orbit, about 22,000 miles from Earth to test the capabilities of laser communications LCRD is the agency’s first technology demonstration of a two-way laser relay system Now that LCRD is in orbit, NASA’s laser communications advancements continue LCRD Experimenters Program
First communications user terminal demonstrated in two-way laser relay . . . Artemis II will be historic not only for renewing human exploration beyond Earth but also for being the first crewed lunar flight to demonstrate laser communication (lasercom) technologies, which are poised to revolutionize how spacecraft communicate
NASA Takes Lasercom a Step Forward A NASA-developed laser communication (lasercom) system made headlines in 2013 when it demonstrated record-breaking data download and upload speeds to the moon
LaserCom - Officina Stellare Lasercom technologies commit to reach unprecedented bandwidth – per each wavelength adopted Compact, simpler satellites when compared by datarate, lasercom space terminals are more compact than RF terminals and demand less SWaP resources than RF terminals
