World's first successful demonstration of laser communication France's Defense Innovation Agency (AID) and a local company, KaiLabs, claim to have made the first communication between a low-Earth orbit nano satellite and a commercial ground station using lasers. Successfully tested. The project, which will begin with the launch of the Kernos satellite in late 2023, aims to ensure high-quality communications by addressing disruptions caused by turbulence in the Etasphere. Another advantage of this technology is fast data transfer which will help satellites to send large amounts of data to other satellites and ground stations. Optical communication technology such as lasers can transmit 100 times more data to Earth than current radio frequency systems. AID said the technology will enable space laser communications to be used on mobile, land, sea and air platforms. It could also be linked to the future satellite systems of the French Ministry of Defense.
