About
The CONDOR Mk3.1 is an advanced optical communication terminal that enables intra-plane and cross-plane inter-satellite connectivity across various orbits, as well as Space-Space, Space-Air, or Space-Ground communication. It is an evolution of the successful CONDOR Mk3 and is compliant with SDA Tranche 1 standards. Designed with best-in-class concepts for LEO constellations, it offers significant Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) advantages. Key features include full compliance with SDA OCT Standard v3.1, support for link distances greater than 10,000 km, and flexible data rates up to 2.5Gbps, with options for 10 Gbps (OOK) and 100 Gbps (DP-QPSK). The terminal provides secure data transmission and is highly resistant to jamming, spoofing, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) compared to RF systems. It operates in a license-free spectrum, requiring no ITU or FCC frequency coordination, and is designed for over 5 years of operation in LEO. Operational features include a hyper hemispherical Field of Regard (FoR) with fast acquisition time, a highly modularized design with an optimized Optical Head and a separate Optical Communication Controller (OCC). One OCC can control up to four Optical Heads, which reduces power consumption and mass for multiple Optical Head configurations per satellite. It supports seamless link configuration and interoperability with various third-party optical communication terminals, offering full duplex, symmetrical, simultaneous transmit and receive capabilities. The system is built to withstand high micro-vibration environments, extended temperature ranges, and radiation effects.
