Grant Activity:
ANU Australian Deep Space OpticalCommunications Ground Station
Purpose:
The project will prototype and test a deep space optical communications ground instrument compatible with NASA's Optical to Orion (O2O) mission: to demonstrate high speed optical communications between Earth and the Orion spacecraft as it orbits the Moon. The Australian National University will partner with Liquid Instruments to build and verify the optical transmitter in the lab. The interface requirements for the full transmitter and receiver system will be defined in preparation for the full system construction. Once complete, this instrument will be equipped to the university's optical ground station, providing Southern Hemisphere ground support for NASA's O2O mission from 2024 onwards.
