EDRS-C final testing

From the creator

In Ottobrunn, Germany, ESA’s laser satellite EDRS-C is undergoing final testing at Airbus before being shipped to the launch site in Kourou, French Guiana. EDRS-C is the second node in the European Data Relay System, a unique public–private partnership between ESA and Airbus. The system – dubbed the SpaceDataHighway by industry – provides data relay between low Earth orbiting satellites and the EDRS nodes over optical links, with the information sent down to Europe in near-real time. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.
