Transcelestial Partners with Gilmour Space for Satellite Laser Communication Demonstration
SPACE ECONOMY
Transcelestial has partnered with Gilmour Space Technologies to integrate laser communication terminals on spacecraft, beginning with a demonstration during SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission later this year. The initiative aims to test high-speed data transmission from satellite to ground, potentially leading to broader applications in future satellite networks. Additionally, the companies are considering establishing an optical ground station in Queensland, Australia, while Transcelestial plans to leverage its Singapore production capabilities for a constellation of 40 spacecraft offering over 100 gigabits per second of network capacity.
