Real Time Optical Receiver Project

The goals for the Real Time Optical Receiver project are to Infuse Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems High Photon Efficiency standard into missions, such as Artemis and to provide a real time ground receiver solution (fiber device, detector, real time FPGA-based receiver) that is: (1) Scalable: data rate, atmosphere conditions, telescope aperture, etc., and (2) Uses COTS components when available and work with companies to move custom parts to COTS.
