HIPPO Hurricane Holler
High power photonics for satellite communications and on-board optical signal processing — that spells HIPPO. Considering their objectives, this is the future of space-based communications and some day will replace the RF technology used by today’s satcom spacecraft.
NASA recently proved lasers work well and the increase in throughput will be a revolutionary game-changer.
