The project will establish an Artemis–compatible optical communications channel over a free–space laser link between the Western Australian Optical Ground Station and an airborne target that mimics the Orion spacecraft. The University of Western Australia will collaborate with Fugro Marine Australia to remotely coordinate ground station operations through the Australian Space Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Control Complex. The project will demonstrate the feasibility of Australian optical communications support for NASA's inspirational Artemis Program to send the first woman and next man to the Moon by 2024; and it will also bring immediate economic benefit for Australian industries through its impact on terrestrial optical communications.
