We have the technical capability to model hybrid deep-space RF and Optical communications networks, but we have little guidance on how the missions and ground architectures will be designed and operated. We exposed several issues that must be resolved before an optimal solution can be reached. With future studies, we may be able to determine solutions to these issues, and perform more precise loading performance analyses to arrive at the most optimal RF and optical ground assets combinations for meeting the projected future demand. The results will then help inform NASA as it plans for infrastructure development to prepare for human/robotic missions in the coming decades.
