MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Optical Terminal Verification Testbed verified that General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems’ optical communication terminal meets performance, interoperability, and technical readiness thresholds for standardized satellite laser crosslinks.

The Enterprise Space Terminal program is intended to reduce dependence on ground relay stations and accelerate delivery of time-critical data to joint forces and national security missions.

A standardized terminal approach allows spacecraft from different programs and prime contractors to operate on a common network.

Optical or laser communications provide substantially higher data throughput than traditional radio frequency links.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Optical Terminal Verification Testbed is one of the U.S. government’s primary facilities for evaluating the readiness of optical communications terminals prior to space-based demonstration.

Advanced Space provides performance modeling for the Enterprise Space Terminal program’s overall system architecture.

The Enterprise Space Terminal program is designed to establish a common optical communications architecture for spacecraft from multiple programs and vendors to exchange data using a standardized enterprise waveform.

The U.S. Space Force Enterprise Space Terminal program is advancing to Phase 3 after successful independent verification of General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems’ optical communication terminal.

Optical or laser communications provide greater resistance to jamming and interference than traditional radio frequency links.

The successful OTVT test campaign confirmed that the optical communication terminal architecture is ready for full system integration and flight terminal development.

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems is the prime contractor for the Enterprise Space Terminal program.

The Enterprise Space Terminal program is intended to support high-capacity laser crosslinks beyond low Earth orbit.

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems will lead Phase 3 of the Enterprise Space Terminal program.

The U.S. Space Force is using the Enterprise Space Terminal program to reduce single points of failure in space communications infrastructure by enabling direct satellite-to-satellite data transfer via laser crosslinks.

Phase 3 of the Enterprise Space Terminal program will integrate and demonstrate a complete flight-ready laser communications terminal.

L3Harris is supporting the Enterprise Space Terminal program on the modem subsystem.

The Phase 2 verification milestone at MIT Lincoln Laboratory formally closed Phase 2 of the Enterprise Space Terminal program.

York Space Systems acquired Atlas Space Operations last year.

All.Space is a U.K.-based terminal developer and manufacturer.

Once the acquisition closes, All.Space will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of York Space Systems.

All.Space is developing a future product that will connect across both Ku- and Ka-band satellite networks simultaneously.

The Hydra Max Ka-band terminal is compatible with the Wideband Global SATCOM U.S. military network, SES’s O3b mPOWER, Viasat 3 & GX, and upcoming Ka-band constellations Amazon Kuiper and Telesat Lightspeed.
