The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) is a space flight technology demonstration mission, led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland and sponsored by NASA’s Technology Demonstration Missions (TDM) Program and Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program Office. The LCRD payload is hosted on the Department of Defense (DoD) Space Test Program (STP) Satellite-6 (STPSat-6) space vehicle and will operate in geostationary orbit (GEO). Launching in late 2021, the mission will conduct a minimum of two years of communication experiments with optical terminals at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Table Mountain Facility, in Hawaii, on the International Space Station in LEO, and via a high bandwidth radio link to White Sands Complex (WSC), New Mexico. This paper focuses on the assembly, integration, and test (AI&T) campaign spanning more than four years, using multiple test facilities, and involving multiple partner collaborations.
