Since the dawn of the space age, NASA has been based on radio communications technology to send and receive data from and to the spacecraft. Although it has developed high-speed data radio systems, data compression and other techniques to increase the amount of data that current systems can handle RF can not keep pace with the needs of data resource projections human instruments and more advanced exploration. To break this bottleneck, NASA relies on optical communications technology using lasers to increase the data rates on existing systems from 10 to 100 times ...
