Abstract

We present the high-level approach of TOWS (Transmission of Optical Wireless Signals for telecom satellites) Project, which will design, realize and demonstrate new implementations of optical wireless systems supporting satellite applications. The TOWS systems should allow for seamless integration into present satellite payloads, reducing the weight and material budget, removing cabled connections. The paper presents an overview of the target results and key issues that will be addressed by the TOWS partners.
