Various advanced materials experiments and lasercomm payload for intersatellite link.

Description

Hosting a number of advanced materials experiments. 

Flashlight is two lasercomm payloads that will demonstrate an optical comm link between CubeSats in LEO orbit. The goal of this project, led by Principal Investigator Todd Rose in PSL’s Electronics and Photonics Laboratory, is to transfer at least 50 Mbps of data while the two spacecraft are 500 km apart. The payloads should be no larger than 2U and less than 2kg, and will have independent mirror pointing with Fast-Steering Mirror to improve performance over body pointing. Flashlight will fly on AeroCube-16, a set of two 6U CubeSats that are scheduled to be done in FY21.
