Abstract:WINDS was launched in late February 2008 to demonstrate technologies enabling an ultra-high data rate communication network. WINDS is performing initial functional verifications of onboard components and systems. This paper describes the initial operation results on orbit and evaluates the performance based on the design and simulation data.
