CubeSat Laser Infrared CrosslinK

Abstract: The CubeSat Laser Infrared CrosslinK (CLICK) mission will demonstrate technology to advance the state of the art in intersatellite communications for small spacecraft. The primary objective of the mission is an on-orbit demonstration of full-duplex (send and receive) laser, also called optical communication, crosslink between two six-unit(6U) small satellites that range in distance between 15 and 360 miles (25 – 580 kilometers) apart at data rates greater than 20 megabits per second (Mbps).
