This paper details the progress in the laser communication activities of Tesat-Spacecom. The EDRS program, the European Data Relay System, a private public partnership program between the European Space Agency ESA and Airbus Defence and Space ADS, is running flawlessly, until now (Oct 2022) 75.000 data relay links have been executed. We report on the performance of the systems in space and detail on other laser comms related activities of TESAT. Especially the delivery and launch of the first optimized LCTs (Laser Communication Terminals) for LEO data relay, the Smart LCTs. In addition, the delivery of Cubesat LCTs have to be mentioned, and the development, qualification and delivery of the ConLCTs for the SDA Tranche 0 program. Furthermore, TESATs involvement in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Precision Navigation and Timing (PNT) programs will be detailed.
