Station Overview

SatLight™ GND is a multi-domain ground station OCT providing the terrestrial endpoint for satellite-to-ground optical links. Supporting free-space optical communication at 10–50 km terrestrial range and LEO downlinks up to 6,000 km, GND bridges the SatLight™ DISK constellation to ground-based networks.

GND supports multi-layer connectivity — linking directly to DISK satellites, HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station) relays, and terrestrial point-to-point paths. Compatible with SDA, OISL, CCSDS, and 3GPP fronthaul protocols, the ground station integrates into existing telecom ORAN architectures for seamless space-to-ground data transport.

Space Debris Tracking

NantNova's MHz laser ranging system enables high-precision space debris tracking from ground station sites — supporting both monostatic and wide-baseline bistatic configurations for continuous, backscatter-free data acquisition.
