Complete pointing systems for space optical communication

The CONECS project supported by BPI FRANCE in the framework of FRANCE 2030 aims to develop complete pointing systems (FSM) for space optical communication (FSO) ensuring both secure and very high-speed connections.

To achieve the reduced costs required in New Space, the project will integrate innovations in piezoelectric mechanisms and optics, and new space electronics with its control software.

The project will also ensure the establishment of an industrial chain, made up of CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES, BERTIN WINLIGHT and MICROTEC, structured to produce the large quantities expected in satellite constellations.
