The Advanced Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (ATDRSS) future service growth (FSG) capabilityAttention is given to the closure of the ATDRSS zone of exclusion (ZOE) utilizing a satellite crosslink whose payload is contained within the FSG. Radio-frequency and optical crosslink approaches are compared in terms of power, volume, and mass. The application considered for the FSG is the ATDRSS ZOE closure utilizing either an optical or an RF crosslink.
