Optical links in contested space

In this episode of Space Minds, we head back to Space Symposium where SpaceNews’ Sandra Erwin moderated a panel on how optical communication links can provide warfighters and operators with the data throughput, resilience and security they need in contested and congested environments. She speaks with GP Sandhoo, the acting director of the Space Development Agency, Mina Mitry, CEO and co-founder of Kepler, Jeff Huggins, president of Cailabs US and Sven Rettig, chief commercial officer of Tesat.
