Overview

Project Title

Optical High Data Rate (HDR) Communication – 1064 nm

Approval

Approved

Document Number

141.11

Charter

5.10 Optical Communications Working Group

Document Type

Orange

Description of Document

The Orange Book will define the optical communication recommendation taking as reference the implementation in ESA missions (EDRS series, Sentinel series), and the original DLR development. The key technical features are the use of the 1064 nm wavelength with BPSK modulation. In addition future evolutions with regard to dual-wavelength, increased data rates (3.6-7,2 Gbps), modulation and coding schemes will be specified in the context of the ESA ScyLight programme – a dedicated new ESA frame work on optical communication technology and in the frame of the ESA GlobeNet project.
