It is expected that a trial communication session will last at least 10 hours.
In 2023, Roskosmos intends to test a new communication method between the Progress spacecraft and the ISS. Planned application of laser technology.
According to the press service of the state corporation, this experiment under the name “ECOLINS” already has a completed technical design. During the period of tests between “Progress” and ISS scientists will try to convey certain information using laser beam. This method of information transfer considered innovative enough for domestic science.
According to the official information provided on the official Roscosmos Institute website, about 30 communication sessions planned between devices located at a distance of 10 to 4 thousand kilometers. The time allotted for the experiment will be 10-15 hours.
If Roscosmos succeeds in implementing this project, then it will entail a real revolution in satellite building.
