Millimeter wavelength communications applications for the SEI
Abstract
The potentially complex missions of the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) require advanced lunar communications, navigation, and information systems to provide voice, data, and image transmissions. The objectives here are to determine which SEI telecommunications applications will benefit from millimeter wave technology, assess the state of the art in millimeter wave technology, and describe the technology development shortfalls with respect to potential mission time frames. The assumptions for the analysis as well as other non-performance related issues are also presented.
