STAR-FODB (fiber optic data bus) program

Boeing is in the second phase of a program to develop a common usage fiber- optic data bus for space applications. Phase 1 of the STAR-FODB program included preliminary design and feasibility studies while the goal of the second phase, now in progress, is to develop a working demonstration systems with hardware that is qualifiable for future spacecraft applications.
