HydRON (High thRoughput Optical Network) is a project of the European Space Agency (ESA) initiated in 2019. HydRON ambitions to extend high-capacity terrestrial networks into space, seamlessly and by interconnecting all kind of space assets across different orbits and terrestrial networks (i.e., 3-dimensional optical network). The targeted capacity performance is orders of magnitude greater compared to today’s satcom systems (terabit/sec in contrast to gigabit/sec). This paper will present an overview of the HydRON-DS concept, including a summary of the technical baseline and associated programmatics submitted for approval at the ESA Ministerial Council in 2022.
