Gateway to the stars - Advancing hybrid space networks in low Earth orbit

Tender details

The tender seeks innovative R&D solutions for advancing hybrid space networks (HSNs) in low Earth orbit (LEO) to enhance secure communication between diverse space-based assets. Proposals should focus on on-orbit experiments that measure and characterize inter-satellite communication paths, including data transmission from various sources through LEO gateways. Essential outcomes include documenting experiments and analyzing data to inform future HSN architecture, while desired outcomes may involve additional testing and capabilities for Arctic operations and resilience under dynamic conditions.
