Additional information ORSES
Provide communications and data capabilities for underserved tactical users. Based on the SMDC-ONE satellite that flew in December 2010 and on the OUTSat mission with an upgraded communication radio and encryption.
The mission for ORSES was to demonstrate a new protocol, called LEOPARD, and validate the KI-55 Type-1 Cryptographic device for spacecraft. The LEOPARD protocol was designed to allow data transfer between ground terminals and LEO satellites without a priori knowledge of either asset?s position.
