\"Mynaric<\/p>\n

Mynaric, a provider of industrialized, cost-effective, and scalable laser communications products, announced an important product milestone of its CONDOR Mk3 optical communications terminals. After an intensive test campaign, CONDOR Mk3 passed optical verification and phase 1 of interoperability tests in the context of the Tranche 1 program of the Space Development Agency (SDA) confirming the product\u2019s compliance with the SDA\u2019s Optical Communications Terminal (OCT) Standard. Mynaric will supply the CONDOR Mk3 terminals to Northrop Grumman\u2019s satellites for the Tranche 1 Transport and Tracking Layer programs.<\/p>\n

A first round of optical verification tests, conducted at Mynaric\u2019s German facilities, confirmed pointing, acquisition, and tracking as well as the communications capabilities of Mynaric\u2019s CONDOR Mk3 product that are required for establishing optical inter-satellite links between satellites. Subsequent optical interoperability tests, conducted at the Naval Research Lab, successfully demonstrated the product\u2019s capability to optically interconnect with terminals from other vendors. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have successfully passed the rigorous test regimes and scenarios which demonstrate our terminal\u2019s compliance with SDA\u2019s requirements and actual interoperability with a third-party product,\u201d said Joachim Horwath, Founder and CTO of Mynaric<\/strong>. \u201cIt is this interoperability combined with the availability of products at scale that will fully unlock the industrial age of laser communications and we are excited about this significant milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis milestone demonstrates that Mynaric can design industry-leading products that meet the SDA\u2019s standards and are fully interoperable with other terminals implementing the same standard,\u201d said Mustafa Veziroglu, CEO of Mynaric<\/strong>. \u201cWith this important step completed, we\u2019re on track to start delivering scalable products to our customers. As industry demand continues to increase, we can proudly say that Mynaric is ready to deliver rapidly increasing quantities of CONDOR Mk3 to our customers in the coming months.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mynaric\u2019s?CONDOR family of optical communications terminals?is specifically designed for mass deployment as part of government and commercial satellite constellations. It has previously been selected by Loft Federal for SDA\u2019s Experimental Testbed NExT, by Capella Space for commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, by Telesat for the DARPA Blackjack program, and others. In addition, Mynaric was named a key development partner for Phase 1 of DARPA\u2019s Space-BACN program, was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate optical technologies for next-generation high-throughput optical inter-satellite links, and was selected by the German government for multiple projects to develop quantum communication capabilities. <\/p>\n
