Recent accomplishments and programmatic changes in direction of the NASA-funded optical communications programm at JPL are discussed. The applications for the technologies are first described. The systems and technologies for both the spacecraft optical communications terminals and the supporting optical reception infrastructure are covered. Plans for a comprehensive set of systems-level demonstrations are presented. These include early aircraft and ground demonstrations, a proposed mission enhancement experiment in space, and a planned solicitation for the first (mission definition) phase for a flight hardware development and demonstration of the technology in space contract.
