This current project involves fitting the space station with a module known as ILLUMA-T, which in the grand tradition of unworkable acronyms is claimed to stand for Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration Low Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal. The idea of the demonstration is for ILLUMA-T to beam data from the space station to LCRD at 1.2 Gbps, and LCRD will then relay the data down to optical ground stations in either California or Hawaii. From there, the data is transmitted to the LCRD Mission Operations Center in New Mexico, before finally being forwarded to the ILLUMA-T ground operations team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

If all goes well, ILLUMA-T could become an operational part of the space station and substantially increase the volume of data that can be transmitted to and from the orbiting laboratory, NASA claimed.
