(author), Scheffers, P.I. (author), Korevaar, C.W. (author)To overcome data rate limitations of RF communication links with satellites, TNO and Airbus Netherlands envision optical free-space communication feeder links for next generation high throughput satellites. This poster presents a feasibility assessment of such links and the technology needed by means of a link budget and a turbulence model of...other 2019

(author)HAPS, a station located on an object at an altitude of 20 to 50 km and at a specified, nominal, fixed point relative to the Earth (ITU RR Vol I 1.66a). A HAPS can be a unmanned airplane, a balloon, or an airship. All require electrical power to keep themselves and their payload functional. Since HAPS operate at much lower altitudes than...other 2019

(author)Described is the M1 segment support, as designed by TNO in the period 2015- 2016. The design has significantly changed and improved compared to the earlier designs. During the period 2009-2010 prototypes for the primary mirror support of the E-ELT have been developed. These have been extensively tested by ESO. Design improvement were found to be...conference paper 2016
