Deep Astronomy - Optical Communications For Developing A Cislunar Neighborhood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoTrL4q9P8c It’s exciting to see plans and investments U.S. commercial and government organizations are making to develop the cislunar neighborhood. Just like neighborhood developments here on Earth, the cislunar neighborhood needs multiple layers of infrastructure for a sustainable ecosystem on and around the Moon.    Companies are planning to deploy foundational communications and data infrastructure to deliver services to government and commercial users. The market for cislunar space services is expected to grow significantly in the coming decade. Recognizing a whole-of-nation approach, there’s synergy in roles for government and private sector. Tune in for this Future in Space Hangout on Optical Communications for Developing a Cislunar Neighborhood to hear more!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
