SubsidieMeestersDisruptive Communication System based on LiFi technology for Spacecrafts and Aerospace Infrastructure
SATELLIFE is a LiFi-based technology that replaces wired signal harnesses in satellites, aiming to reduce weight, complexity, and costs for the burgeoning space industry.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Over the next decade, the space industry expects to launch 50,000 satellites in orbit. However, the long-term success of this plan requires substantial cost reductions, specifically in weight and material costs of satellites.
Current Challenges
Wired (coppered) signal harnesses are used for data transmission on communication buses within the satellite and account for up to 10% of the total dry mass of a satellite. The high weight, density, and complexity of the satellite harnesses represent a substantial pain for manufacturers and an opportunity for innovation and market disruption.
Solution Development
Based on feasibility studies with project partners in the space industry, Oledcomm has developed SATELLIFE, the first LiFi (light fidelity)-based wireless connection technology which utilizes light to transmit data.
Benefits of SATELLIFE
Replacing cables in a spacecraft with SATELLIFE allows for:
- Simplification of validation and manufacturing
- Huge weight reduction
- Cost reduction
