TESAT-Spacecom, a leading provider of space technology based in Backnang, Germany, has established itself as a key player in the field of laser communication. With the SCOT80 laser communication terminal, TESAT delivers an innovative solution designed to meet the demands of modern satellite constellations in terms of data transmission and reliability.
The SCOT80 enables bidirectional data transmission at a speed of 10 Gbps over distances of up to 8,000 kilometers. Depending on the specific configuration and distance, data transmission rates can reach up to 100 Gbps. This technology is essential for establishing a satellite-based internet and ensures reliable communication between satellites, orbital planes, and Earth.
The high-performance cables provided by MSA Components play a central role in ensuring the outstanding functionality and reliability of the SCOT80. They guarantee precise and interference-free signal transmission between the electronic and optical modules. Additionally, they are specifically designed to withstand extreme space conditions such as temperature fluctuations and radiation. With this key technology, MSA Components supports TESAT in meeting the highest demands of modern satellite communication systems.
The SCOT80 is used globally, with a strong presence in Europe, North America, and Asia. Beyond civilian applications in mega-constellations, it is also deployed in the transport layers of the U.S. military. Recently, Lockheed Martin selected the SCOT80 for a demonstration on a GPS III satellite. This project highlights the versatility and potential of the SCOT80.
