OSIRISv1 on Flying Laptop: Measurement Results and Outlook

Optical satellite links have gained increasing attention throughout the last years. Especially for the application of optical satellite downlinks, DLR's Institute of Communications and Navigation is developing a number of experimental payloads for various satellites. Within the OSIRIS program, DLR develops optical terminals and systems which are optimized for small satellites. This paper will show measurements conducted with DLR's OSIRISv1-payload hosted on University of Stuttgart's Flying Laptop satellite. Furthermore, a summary of the OSIRIS program's current status will be given as well.
