What Hype is tracking

  • Commissioning a client link moves Astrolight’s laser-communications work beyond development and into a delivered system, adding a concrete commercial milestone for the European space sector.
  • The report provides no information on performance, capacity or operational use, so the link’s technical significance and potential applications remain unclear.
