Key highlights
The Astrologht ATLAS-1 is a Space to Ground Laser Communication Terminal designed for satellite applications.
It is a beaconless scalable laser communication terminal developed to use for space-to-ground operation.
The beaconless design and in-orbit Tx/Rx beam alignment reduces complexity and manufacturing costs. This also increases the reliability of the terminal for several operations. The terminal is optimized for operation with Astrolight’s 14-inch optical ground station.
Key features
- Up to 2.5 Gbps raw data rate (scalable to 12.5 Gbps)
- 1550 nm wavelength
- OOK modulation
- Just 10 x 10 x 5 cm in size
- Less than 30 W of power consumed during transmission
- Operates on unregulated 8-18V power
- Integrated fine-pointing system
- In-orbit Tx/Rx beam alignment
- Fully compatible with Astrolight optical ground stations
