CLICK will demonstrate a low-cost, low-complexity laser comm terminal that can be used in nanosatellite missions that involve constellations or swarms needing to transfer high data rates from node to node or from daughter-spacecraft to mother-spacecraft. This technology could help enable constellations of nanosatellites to network with one another to precisely correlate astronomical, heliophysical or Earth observations and to coordinate spacecraft flying in formation to produce a distributed aperture.
