The main paper seems to be behind a paywall (rolleyes), but I did find this synopsis that covers the basic approach and hardware: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4... It sounds like this test payload was part of a larger CubeSet built by NASA, but the actual datacom components seem pretty much off the shelf (besides the optics). 100Gbps transceivers, an optical mux, and an EDFA - all common in terrestrial telecom - and some IR optics to collimate the beam. |
