Abstract
In June 2023, researchers at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences undertook a series of experiments on satellite-to-ground laser communication using the Jilin-1 MF02A04 (JLMF) satellite and independently developed a 500 mm optical communication ground station (AIROSG), achieving a successful throughput of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) in the satellite-to-ground optical link. The obtained satellite payload data demonstrated good performance and satisfied the requirements of high-standard scientific applications.
