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.
Applicable Patents	There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community
Patent Comments
Survey of Similar Standards Documents or Projects Undertaken in Other Bodies and elsewhere in CCSDS	This Orange Book will complement the optical communication recommendations for High Photon Efficiency (HPE) and Low Complexity (LC) without overlapping them but adding a sound candidate for future standardization.
