Prototype Communication System Using Sunlight Modulation for Long-Distance Information Transmission

This project focuses on developing a prototype communication system that modulates sunlight to convey information over vast distances, such as between the Earth and the Moon, in a vacuum. Aiming for superior efficiency compared to traditional laser communication systems, the current phase involves establishing a working communication link, analyzing the system's error budget, and testing materials for its components. Key next steps include testing with specific materials and beginning LabVIEW coding to support the system architecture.

Presentation Transcript

  1. i-heliostat6/9 update Amy Whitcombe, Kendall Pletcher, Eric Kolker, Kiefer Hicks

  2. Revised SOW Previously: Research, design, construct, and test a prototype communication system which modulates sunlight to send information over large distances—such as between the moon and the earth—in a vacuum. This system should be significantly more efficient than traditional laser communication systems. Now: Set up a working communication link which modulates sunlight to send information over large distances. Analyze the error budget of the system in order to compare with traditional laser systems.

  3. Questions for Jeff • What exactly will you be giving us? • What is the error budget for the system? (Jeff will send this to Steve)

  4. Progress • Decided on a PM: Eric • Met with Steve, discussed the requirements of the system. • Must focus on error analysis • Re-approached the problem with the new requirements in mind.

  5. The Next Step • Harvey’s trip and digikey order for testing materials • Begin testing with materials to figure out transmitter • Begin work on LabVIEW code
