This work details a robust bit-stream recorder and modem designed for high-speed optical on-off-keyed satellite downlinks. The system accommodates large variations in link budgets and supports standardized data rates of up to 10Gbps. It provides a secure, efficient, and flexible solution for data-heavy missions like Earth observation and mega-constellations.
