This paper presents a state-of-the-art overview of fine beam steering mechanisms for free-
space optical communication on satellites. Precise beam pointing is a critical task for the …

Since launch in May 2022, NASA's TeraByte Infrared Delivery (TBIRD) program has
successfully demonstrated 100-Gbps and 200-Gbps laser communication downlinks from a …

Free‐space radio‐frequency (RF) communication links for intersatellite or satellite‐to‐
ground communications are getting increasingly constraint by the insufficient spectrum …

The Terabyte Infrared Delivery (TBIRD) program will establish an optical communication link
from a 6U nanosatellite in low-Earth orbit to a ground station at burst rates up to 200 Gbps …

Direct‐to‐Earth transmissions with optical on/off‐keying are becoming the method of choice
to realize telemetry downlinks from low Earth orbit satellites at highest data‐rates. Here, we …

We present a description and plan for the Mount Stromlo Optical Communication Ground
Station (OCGS), which will be a facility for free space optical communication at Mount …

A satellite-constellation based global quantum network could allow secure quantum
communication between remote users worldwide. Such a constellation could be formed of …

Optical Intersatellite Links (OISLs) are being considered for future Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) constellations. Thanks to OISLs, the constellation incorporates …

Over years of space laser communication technology advances, satellite optical networks
(SONs) have emerged as a pivotal component in 6 G networks. Satellite services are …

The constant growth in the demand for communication services has implied an increase the
transmitted data rate and bandwidth. Optical satellite communications have provided a …
