Scenario-based uncertainty quantification for deep space optical communications

This thesis develops a framework for evaluating deep space communication architectures under uncertainty and explores the potential of optical communications to meet the future data requirements of deep space science missions. Currently, the Deep Space Network (DSN) relies solely on radiofrequency (...
