This chapter discusses the important features of developing high-data-rate space communication networks using a constellation of laser satellites, high-altitude platforms (HAPs), UAVs, and aerial, terrestrial, and underwater terminals connected with FSO laser/optical links. The chapter also introduces relaying techniques as an effective method to extend coverage, which is essential in developing and designing reliable and cost-effective satellite constellation. All-optical amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying schemes relevant to FSO laser links between ground and GEO/LEO satellites, between satellites in a constellation, or between HAP/UAV-to-LEO scenarios are explained. Recent demonstrations and technology developments for FSO laser satellite communications relevant to both single and constellation of laser satellites are also discussed. Some of the current projects and future missions of establishing laser communications in LEO and CubeSats are also mentioned.
