Abstract:

To send images from the moon to Earth, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) uses a K-band data link that transmits at 25.65 GHz with a transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s, a significant increase in data return from what was possible with older technology. Because this development was based on a previous design effort for a mission-of-interest, it was scaled back quickly to meet the timeline and requirements of the LRO project.
