Zusammenfassung:NASA’s Artemis II mission will fly a human crew of 4 to the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft for the first time since the Apollo missions. The Orion spacecraft includes an optical communication payload, known on board as “OpCom,” which is part of NASA’s Orion Artemis II Optical Communications (O2O) demonstration. OpCom will be controlled directly from the Mission Control System (MCC) in Houston and will support forward links up to 20 Mbps and return links up to 250 Mbps for at least 1 hour per mission day. It will be used to transfer files and provide real-time video SD and HD video to/from MCC. We describe the OpCom system architecture and operations concept.
