Ground stations for aeronautical and space laser communications at German Aerospace Center
Free-space laser communications are subject of current research and development in many research and industrial bodies. Long distance air-ground and space-ground can be implemented in future communication networks as feeder, backbone and backhaul links for various airand space-based scenarios. The Institute of Communications and Navigation of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) operates two groun...
متن کاملTransportable optical ground station for high-speed free-space laser communication
Near real-time data downlinks from aircrafts, satellites and high altitude platforms via high-speed laser communication links is an important research topic at the Institute of Communications and Navigation of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Ground stations for such scenarios are usually fixed at a certain location. With a motivation to provide a ground station that is quickly and easily dep...

tethered aerostat balloons that operate at altitudes up to 10,000 feet above mean sea level. • A 180,000-pound mobile mooring station and tether system is used to launch, recover, and secure each aerostat system. The aerostat tether system provides radar control and data transfer links to supporting ground control and data processing stations. JLENS is deployable to pre-planned operational site...
متن کاملCost and Performance Comparison of an Earth-Orbiting Optical Communication Relay Transceiver and a Ground-Based Optical Receiver Subnet
Optical communications can provide high-data-rate telemetry from deep-space probes with subsystems that have lower mass, consume less power, and are smaller than their radio frequency (RF) counterparts. However, because optical communication is more affected by weather than is RF communication, it requires groundstation site diversity to mitigate the adverse effects of inclement weather on the ...
متن کاملSTABILITY MEASUREMENTS OF Ku-BAND SPREAD SPECTRUM EQUIPMENT USED FOR TWO-WAY TIME TRANSFER David A. Howe National Bureau of Standards
The NBS Boulder Laboratory is in the process of assembling a very high accuracy time transfer system. The system includes a 6.1 meter Ku-band satellite earth station, two transportable earth stations each with a 1.8 meter dish, and commercial modems designed for two-way timing. Elements of the facilities are described in this paper. High-accuracy timing with this equipment using the two-way tim...
