Potential NASA Commercial Applications: The first planned product for the PPM optical transmitter technology to be developed in this program is a long-range FSO link for Interplanetary Optical Telecommunications supporting robotic explorers. The second planned products will be FSO links for NASA satellite-to-ground applications as well as inter-satellite communications. Subsequent products will be for air-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-space and ground-to-ground applications to complement existing Freedom Photonics technology.
