CACI International Inc. enabled advanced optical communications and sensing technologies for NASA?s Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. Onboard the Artemis II Orion spacecraft is CACI?s optical communications modem module, developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory. CACI?s optical communications hardware, including the company?s bidirectional modem and amplifiers, is integrated into the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System payload.<\/p>\n
This payload integrates precision pointing, laser transmission, and onboard data-handling technologies representing historic advancements in deep-space communication efficiency. During the mission, O2O successfully delivered high-definition video and data from the lunar vicinity to Earth, establishing an optical link to a ground station, enabling a major milestone in next-generation space communications. Separately, through its acquisition of ARKA Group, CACI also contributed critical cryogenic-level sensing technology to the Space Launch System rocket.<\/p>\n
This hardware supports precise propellant-level measurement and helps enable engine shutdown determination during ascent, which is an essential function for crewed deep space missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CACI International Inc. enabled advanced optical communications and sensing technologies for NASA?s Artemis II mission, the first crewed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8667,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[61,60,123,82,247],"class_list":["post-390393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-markets","tag-science","tag-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
