About
The NanoCom Link IS1 facilitates reliable, two-way intersatellite links, ensuring efficient data exchange between spacecraft. GomSpace has been at the forefront of inter-satellite RF link technology, demonstrating its capabilities in missions like 3-Diamonds (2017) and GOMX-4 (2018). With two NanoCom Link IS1 units, a complete intersatellite communication system can be established, tailored to mission needs. The product offers flexibility with different antenna back plates to adapt to satellite design and operational requirements. It includes a NanoCom SDR MK3 with one TR600 and a NanoCom ANT2150-ISL S-Band antenna, supporting half-duplex RX and TX. The inter-satellite link uses S-Band TDD BPSK modulation with proprietary sync and coding at 100 Kbit/sec. This flight-proven product has been tested and proven in flight, ensuring reliability and performance.
