Relative Dynamics Inc. was awarded U.S. Patent No. 11,329,722 for the ground breaking optical communications terminal design for HAP, LEO, MEO, GEO, and deep space. The technology development was spearheaded by lead inventors Kush Patel, founder of Relative Dynamics, and Dr. Michael Krainak, CTO at Relative Dynamics.

This technology is a free-space optical communication system for bidirectional communication and navigation. The optical terminal includes a state of the art telescope, an unique gimbal for precision pointing and tracking and scalable modem. Fast, reliable, high bandwidth communication is among the most pressing needs of the space industry. Optical data transfer will be a key component of spacecraft technology because it can provide high volume data at light speed.

Relative Dynamics is well positioned to unlock the potential of optical communication for space applications, particularly as they prepare to commercially launch the free-space communication systems covered by the patented technology for a low cost. Relative Dynamics understands that Free-Space Optical Communications technology is not a science problem, but an engineering problem. It is this mindset that makes this patent unique.
