Orbital Systems project aims to boost optical space comms
20 Jan 2021
French partners Cailabs, Onera, and CNES to develop, evaluate atmospheric turbulence compensation module.
Aim is to improve laser satellite communications.Cailabs, Rennes, France, a technology company that develops photonic solutions to maximize the industrial potential of beam shaping, is to team up with French aerospace lab ONERA to collaborate on the CNES research and technology program called Orbital Systems.
The aim of this 18-month program is to improve laser satellite communication solutions by developing a module to compensate for atmospheric turbulence. To achieve this, the two organizations, with the support of CNES, will pool their respective expertise in beam shaping, optical communications in turbulent environments, and orbital systems.
