A schematic showing the Earth with many satellite links.
satellite communications (SATCOM)
Large constellations of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) allow for unparalleled global coverage but require new networking approaches.
An illustration of data being sent across a laser from a small satellite to a ground station on Earth.
laser communications
The laser communications payload has delivered terabytes of data from a satellite to Earth at record-breaking rates that will transform future science missions.
This image shows Mexico Beach, FL, after it sustained damage from Hurricane Michael in 2018. It was taken through NOAA’s Emergency Remote Sensing program. Satellites could provide similar information after more incidents. (Image courtesy of NOAA.)
disaster relief
Dedicated satellite imaging could help coordinate emergency response to disasters.
A photo of Arctic sea ice fracturing into big chunks.
climate
We are developing a sensor network to improve our understanding and monitoring of sea ice breakup in the rapidly changing Arctic region.
an illustration of satellite in space with Earth's blue surface in the background.
cyber security
We are researching and prototyping cyber-resilient space systems software that will enable critical national security space assets to withstand, operate through, and recover from cyberattack.
Imagery from the GOES-16 Advanced Baseline Imager
environmental monitoring
The Laboratory's long-term collaboration with NOAA and NASA on environmental monitoring satellites has led to revolutionized weather imagery and products and improved detection for space and solar phenomena.
Small satellites are an attractive option for missions because of their low costs; however, they are vulnerable to cyberattacks. We provide a securable and usable architecture for keeping small satellites resilient to system compromise.
software
A secure reference architecture enables satellites to recover from cyberattacks and carry on their missions.
