Abstract:Moon exploration and colonization will strongly rely upon high-speed optical wireless communications over a huge distance (around 400,000 km). Here, we introduce a holistic model, including the propagation issues as well as the realistic communication limitations and the expected practical limitations. We focus on the communication issues in a link connecting a GEO satellite to a fixed Moon optical station: here, we consider the challenging 10 Gbit/s transmission rate, and we assume an optical pre-amplified re… Show more
