NASA Research Announcement: V-Band

NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for demonstrating, in space, V-band spectra cross-links among multiple satellites operating in a configuration sufficient to demonstrate multi-path routing (i.e., at least three nodes, mesh network), at data rates representative of the needs of NASA science and Earth remote sensing missions. Interested parties shall submit capabilities statements which address their ability to: Demonstrate dynamic routing across the mesh network. Demonstrate delivery of representative mission data volumes across the mesh network. Characterize the achievable performance of the demonstrated architecture, including data throughput, end-to-end latency, link availability, and acquisition and tracking performance, and identi
