Safran DSI - IRIS Optical Ground Station for Space Laser Communications
- Multi-Missions and Applications: Earth Observation (EO), high throughput bi-directional telecommunication, feeder link or Deep Space
- 100% Safran In-House Solution: Compatible with SDA, CCSDS and HPE standards
- Communication Data Rates: 10 to 100 times higher thanks to Cortex Lasercom
Our Optical Ground Station for Space Laser Communications has been designed to cater to a wide range of applications (Low Earth Orbit - LEO/Giant Earth Orbit - GEO/Probes), including Earth observation, high throughput bi-directional telecommunications, feeder link, or deep space missions. The Optical Ground Station leverages the Cortex Lasercom, a globally recognized optical modem that supports various standards such as SDA, CCSDS, and HPE.
Designed and developed entirely in-house, IRIS optical ground station is equipped with state-of-the-art telescopes and optronic components for transmitting and receiving laser communications. It opens up new opportunities for all players in the space market, thanks to higher, more secure space-to-ground data rates.

The new Light Hub for Zebra Iris GTX Smart Cameras (HCS-150-ZEB) streamlines machine vision system setup. This innovative controller acts as a central hub, directly powering your Zebra Iris GTX Smart Camera while managing triggering and analog dimming control between the camera, compatible lights, and I/O accessories.
Equipped with Advanced Illumination’s SignaTech™ technology, the Light Hub delivers 4 amps of continuous output and up to 8 amps of overdrive strobe. This empowers you to choose from a vast array of Advanced Illumination lighting configurations, ensuring optimal illumination for your application. Whether you need seamless integration with an 3×3 infrared backlight or would like to overdrive strobe a 70″ high intensity bar light, the Light Hub delivers.
