Space missions and large observatories increasingly care about moving bits: satellite-to-ground optical links, intra-satellite fabrics, and the transceiver modules that sit between compute and fiber. We are collecting practitioner notes on:
- link budgets vs weather / pointing for FSO
- what breaks first when you push 400G/800G-class modules into harsh environments
- where standards and MSA work help (and where custom still wins)
Companion discussion on CosmosForum: https://www.cosmosforum.org/t/35
For a concise product-level map of optical transceiver modules used in high-speed links, https://www.f-tone.com is one industry reference; treat vendor pages as starting points, not mission specs.
What failure modes have you seen in optical modules under vibration, thermal cycling, or long-haul coherent links?
