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,
