Preliminary concepts and designs of a deep space optical link for planetary and deep space science are described. As a mission application, attention is given to a spacecraft optical transceiver package (OPTRANSDAC) attached to a Mars rover vehicle. Also considered are a preliminary concept for a 1000-AU mission, and to a tentative long-range plan for NASA's deep space optical communications program.
