Technology goal is to achieve ten times the data rate for more or less the same power and mass that the telecom system has. From an orbiter at mars right now, with a high gain in tena it's typically we're doing 200 to 300 calbits per second sot. It's almost a factor of ten fom from those distances. And just like you have radio science in the matured radio technology, you'll get light science in the lazer technology. So you'll be able to do gravity mapping and other kinds of neat, you know, scientific things,. which will be an auxiliary capability of the lasocom system.
