The BOREALIS facility enables rigorous, multi-vendor interoperability testing for optical inter-satellite links. By using hardware-in-the-loop simulation to replicate LEO platform dynamics and vibration, it validates the acquisition, pointing, and tracking performance of communication terminals. This testing capability is vital for ensuring seamless data connectivity in large-scale orbital constellations.
