Sun Tolerant Optical Communication Link Acquisition and Tracking (Artes 4.0 Sl Spl 5g.034)
This tender is from the country of Netherlands in Europe region. The tender was published by EUROPEAN SPACE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY CENTRE on 23 Oct 2023 for Tenders are invited for Sun Tolerant Optical Communication Link Acquisition and Tracking (Artes 4.0 Sl Spl 5g.034) Objective:The objective of this activity is to add a slow modulation scheme on a high-data rate optical link, so allow efficient daylight sun-background subtraction on the tracking sensor and allow more robust operation at small sun-spacecraft-angles.TargetedImprovements:50% higher link availability at small sun-spacecraft-angles (10 degrees).Description:With incoherent and coherent optical communication schemes the counter terminal needs to be angularly acquired and tracked at sub-arcsecond level before data transmission can be started. This process is susceptible to sun straylight at small sun-spacecraft separation angles, as the light entering the tracking sensor appears at similar frequencies as sun-straylight, close to DC. This activity will introduce sub-modulation schemes on top of the data carrying waveform to allow efficient dynamic straylight suppression. The objective of this activity is to add a slow modulation on a high-data rate optical link, so allow efficient daylight sun-background subtraction on the tracking sensor and allow more robust operation at small sun-spacecraft-angles. This will allow 50% higher link availability at small sun-spacecraft-angles for space-to-ground as well as inter-satellite links.. The last date to submit your bid for this tender was 19 Jan 2024. This tender is for the companies specializing in Satellite communications equipment and similar sectors.
