"Starlinka analogue": Russia boasted the first space laser communication session

The Russians claim that they have established a relationship between the satellite and the terminal on Earth at 5G speeds, and connected the satellites at a distance of more than 200 kilometers. The Russian Space Company "Bureau 1440" has declared the first successful testing of satellite laser communications using 5G NTN within the framework of the RASSvet-2 mission. This is stated in the official Telegram channel of the company.

It is reported that the onboard relay complex (BRTC) of the spacecraft successfully exchanged information with the subscriber terminal on Earth. The company emphasized that engineers managed to overcome the Doppler effect and delay in the communication channel with a satellite moving at a speed of 27. 000 km/h at an altitude of 800 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The Russians also tested the terminals of the inter -satellite laser communication of their own development.

According to them, it was possible to transmit data at a distance of 220 kilometers, and the maximum amount of information transmitted in one session exceeded 450 GB, taking into account the absence of damaged data packages. In total, from the beginning of the testing, 14 inter -satellite sessions were conducted at distances from 30 to 220 km, and transferred from the apparatus to the apparatus by a total of more than 1. 5 TB of data.

The Russian company stated that their goal was to ensure a global seamless coverage by the connection of the entire territory of the Russian Federation and the planet. The following tasks will be aimed at forming the elements of a 5G user network and building a laser communication between spacecraft at distances over 1000 kilometers. According to the militaristic portal, the company "Bureau 1440" tests in space a laser connection between satellites, which should become "Starlink".

For the development of high -speed satellite Internet, Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed to allocate 116 billion rubles in the next decade. However, the real full cost of the Bureau of 1440 should be at least $ 7 billion. We will remind, earlier in "Bureau 1440" stated a successful test of communication between satellites, noting that more than 200 GBs were transferred at a speed of 10 Gbps between spacecraft at a distance of more than 30 kilometers from each other.
