Greece's national satellite project demonstrates multi-mission CubeSat capabilities, integrating optical communication terminals and imagers for Earth observation and secure data links. By testing platforms like OptiSat and PeakSat, the project validates small-satellite resilience and high-speed laser connectivity. These missions utilize commercial off-the-shelf optical terminals to prove viability for secure, space-based information distribution.
