Introduction: Successful space-to-ground technology demonstrations have been completed -Past two decades; A number are planned toward the latter part of this decade; The farthest range has been lunar with the Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD); NASA is planning a deep-space technology demonstration of laser communication -In radio frequency communications deep-space is considered to be 0.013 AU (Astronomical Units) -The Deep-space network services missions beyond geostationary orbit (GEO) -Link difficulty (megabytes per second per AU squared) increases with increasing distance -Pursuing technologies to address link-difficulty out to approximately 3 AU -Progress report on subset of these technologies -- Other papers will cover some other technology development -Extension to farther ranges beyond 3 AU will be pursued in the future -Inclusion of laser ranging and light science (optical equivalent of radio science) is also anticipated
