NASA’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) will demonstrate and study bi-directional space-to-ground optical links. Optical Ground Station 1 (OGS-1) for LCRD will be developed at the Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory (OCTL), a 1-meter telescope in the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This paper will present an updated overview of OGS-1, its systems and capabilities, and its preparations for integrating and verifying readiness of the completed system. It will conclude with predicted performance of the OGS-1 system.
