Random information on the term “OPALS”:

Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) is a laser space communication system in development meant to improve communications performance 10 to 100 times over the current radio frequency technology without incurring increases in mass, volume or power. DSOC will be capable of providing high bandwidth downlinks from beyond cislunar space.

The project is led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.

Future human expeditions may require a steady stream of high-definition imagery, live video feeds, and real-time data transmission across deep space to enable timely guidance and updates during the long-distance journeys. Even at its maximum data rate of 5.2 megabits per second (Mbps), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) requires 7.5 hours to transmit all of its onboard recorder, and 1.5 hours to send a single HiRISE image to be processed back on Earth. New high-resolution hyperspectral imagers put further demands on their communications system, requiring even higher data rates.
