SpaceDataHighway

SpaceDataHighway is a satellite network that uses high-speed laser links to connect orbiting satellites with ground stations, enabling rapid and secure data transfer. It’s like a space-based fiber optic system, allowing real-time communication and data exchange for applications such as Earth monitoring, disaster response, and secure military operations. This system reduces latency and increases bandwidth compared to traditional radio links, making satellite data more timely and accessible. Operated by the European Space Agency, it enhances global connectivity by providing swift, reliable data transmission from space to Earth.
