The Photonics Group at the United States NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has been supporting the design, development, manufacturing and integration of the optical fiber subsystem on the Express Logistics Carrier for the ISS. Some lessons learned are presented.
Fiber optic cables are increasingly being used in harsh environments where they are subjected to vibration. Understanding the degradation in performance under these conditions is essential for integration of the fibers into the given application. System constraints often require fiber optic connectors so that subsystems can be removed or assembled...
Lasers with high peak power pulses are commonly used in spaceflight missions for a wide range of applications, from LIDAR systems to optical communications. Due to the high optical power needed, the laser has to be located on the exterior of the satellite or coupled through a series of free space optics. This presents challenges for thermal managem...
