Design and Prototyping of a Nanosatellite Laser Communications Terminal for the Cubesat Laser Infrared CrosslinK (CLICK) B/C Mission
Peter Grenfell,Paul Serra,Ondrej Cierny,William Kammerer,Grant Gunnison,Joseph Kusters,Cadence Payne,Kerri Cahoy,Myles Clark,Tyler Ritz,Danielle Coogan,John Conklin,David Mayer,Jan Stupl,John Hanson +14 more
TL;DR: The CubeSat Laser Infrared CrossLink (CLICK) mission as discussed by the authors demonstrated a low cost, high data rate optical transceiver terminal with fine pointing and precision time transfer in a leq1.5U form factor.

Miniature Optical Steerable Antenna for Intersatellite Communications Liquid Lens Characterization
TL;DR: In this article, the suitability of both types of liquid lenses for use in a space-based multiple access lasercom terminal was analyzed, and the worst-case link penalties were determined to be −0.5 dB for the Corning lenses at -0.8° steering and − 0.4 dB for Optotune lenses at −1.0° steering.

TL;DR: The Deformable Mirror Demonstration Mission (DeMi) is a 6U CubeSat that will operate and characterize the onorbit performance of a Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) deformable mirror (DM) with both an image plane and a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS) as discussed by the authors.
Optomechanical Design and Analysis for Nanosatellite Laser Communications
Laura Yenchesky,Ondrej Cierny,Peter Grenfell,William Kammerer,Paula Do Vale Periera,Tao Sevigny,Kerri Cahoy +6 more
TL;DR: The CubeSat Laser Infrared CrosslinK (CLICK) mission is a technology demonstration of a 1.5U laser communications terminal for an intersatellite link and the pointing, acquisition, and tracking approach includes both coarse and fine systems.

Paul Serra,Ondrej Cierny,William Kammerer,Ewan S. Douglas,Dae Wook Kim,Jaren N. Ashcraft,George A. Smith,Charlotte E. Guthery,Tom Vergoossen,Alexander Lohrmann,Robert Bedington,Chithrabhanu Perumangatt,Alexander Ling,Kerri Cahoy +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined quantum and laser communication terminal is proposed to perform space-to-ground entanglement-distribution and high data rate communications on a 12U CubeSat with a 95mm beam expander and an 60 cm aperture optical ground telescope.
