The Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has started the development of a novel optical ground station that will be able to support satellite-to-ground links for both geostationary and low-Earth orbit satellites. The design includes some of the main concepts in current standardization efforts that are taking place in the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems. Different design issues have been discussed together with mission specifics and design solutions.
