COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
Aug. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Mynaric debuted its next generation space terminal at the 36th
Annual Space Symposium as part of its unwavering commitment to
industrialize laser communication technology for the aerospace
market. The CONDOR Mk3 will expand the company's current product
portfolio by providing a mass-manufacturable, smaller, lighter and
low-power option, which has evolved in response to feedback that
customers and the industry have given to the new product's
SDA-compliant Mk2 predecessor. The company also announced having
already signed a launch customer for the newly unveiled product.
The undisclosed customer is scheduled to receive initial product
deliveries from Q4 2022 and has secured options for up to 20
units.
"There is a growing need for high-performance, high-bandwidth,
secure and reliable connectivity in and from space," said
Bulent Altan, CEO of Mynaric. "With
our newest generation space product we are proud to be part of the
formula for creating solutions addressing this need. CONDOR Mk3
terminals can be serially produced, ensuring affordability and
allowing for large-scale deployment with short lead times for a
variety of space applications."
Key to the Mk3's entry into the market is its scalability of
both speed and production. With configurable data rate speeds
between 100 Mbps and 100 Gbps, the terminal ensures both
standardized compatibility with the SDA's requirements and delivers
higher speeds for different missions. Additionally, Mynaric's
commitment and investment to increased production capabilities in
the United States and Germany ensures a scalably-manufactured
terminal delivering on both short lead times and affordability.
"We are incredibly proud to have already secured a lead customer
before even having officially launched our next generation CONDOR
terminal, today," said Tina Ghataore, Chief Commercial Officer of
Mynaric. "The Space Development Agency's intent to use their
Transport Layer satellites to receive data directly in space opens
up completely new channels for commercial satellite operators. We
are happy to be able to support such missions and more with our
newest generation CONDOR terminal."
Using best-in-class design, the CONDOR Mk3 realized significant
size, weight, power and performance advantages over its product
predecessors, including:
- Optical Head mass and size reduced by 30% compared to Mk2
- Optimized power consumption
- Flexible data rate coverage from 100 Mbps up to 100 Gbps
- Link distances beyond 7,500 km
- Full compliance with SDA Tranche 0 and Tranche 1 OISL Standard
in the same terminal
- Adaptable to flat-panel satellite designs

Mynaric (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: M0Y, ISIN: DE000A0JCY11)
produces the optical fiber for the skies and, as a pioneer of laser
communication, enables extremely fast and secure wireless data
transmission between aircraft, drones and satellites. Globally, the
need for fast and ubiquitous network connectivity is advancing
inexorably. Data networks such as the internet are now largely
based on infrastructure on the ground which cannot be expanded
arbitrarily for legal, economic or logistical reasons. The future,
therefore, calls for an expansion of the existing network
infrastructure into air and space. Mynaric provides laser
communication products to establish the necessary data highways for
telecommunication constellations in air and space. For more
