Abstract
To remain competitive with fiber telecommunications systems, advanced communications satellites will require increased bandwidth and capability to provide efficient economical services. On-board photonic subsystems could potentially reduce the payload mass and volume and increase processing bandwidth. Technical feasibility of a photonic satellite where optical subsystems replace the microwave and digital electronics on-board communications spacecraft is discussed in this paper.
