A flexible low-cost optical communications ground terminal at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
2021
We present the status of ongoing work at NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to build a low-cost flexible ground terminal for optical communication. Previous laser communication missions at NASA have been supported by one-of-akind ground terminals built specifically for each mission. If NASA is to build a global network of optical terminals to enable widespread use of optical communications, then a blueprint for an economical ground terminal able to support a variety of missions is needed. With this goal in mind, NASA is constructing a ground terminal in Greenbelt, Maryland to enable testing of new ground terminal technologies from industry to academia.
