NEW SPACE - COMMERCIAL SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

Abstract:

Satellite Communication market is poised to take off and represents a major new opportunity for Optical Communications, primarily for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) connections both between satellites. The driving forces underneath the booming growth of satcom are the decreased hardware and launch cost, the huge investments from the private sector, and the need to cover underserved areas today. Leveraging fiber communication technology for space applications require addressing key challenges to survive launch and to operate in the space radiation environment. On top of the reliability issues, specific performances in terms of optical power and, dimensions and power dissipation will be discussed. Long and extensive experience together with vertical integration from materials to subsystems, can make the difference in providing the optimal solution for custom applications to pioneer the new space frontier
