Employing Optics and Photonics beyond earth' s atmosphere is a new frontier for laser communications\, optical sensors\ , and space exploration\, which is being driven by the affordable launch c ost of small satellite systems (e.g. CubeSats)\, the military\, NASA's spa ce telescopes\, as well as the commercial delivery systems of SpaceX\, Blu e Origin\, and Virgin Galactic.\n\nThese applications include secure quant um optical communication systems\, optical sensors for earth observation ( weather forecasting\, climate change\, natural resources)\, space-based Li dar systems\, monitoring sun activity for solar storms\, the Hubble and Ja mes Webb telescopes for deep space observation\, planetary missions (e.g. New Horizon Pluto and Kuiper belt mission)\, the search for extra-terrestr ial life and exoplanets\, and space based optical interferometers for the detection of gravitational waves. A NASA sponsored program - Lunar Laser C ommunication Demonstration (LLCD)\, 622 megabits per second from moon to e arth\, ushered in a new era in high-speed outer space laser communications \, changing the landscape of laser-based space data communication forever. The future NASA Orion Mission (human to moon) will include a lasercom lin k. In addition\, closer to earth\, Google and Facebook are exploring high- speed free-space optical communications (Internet in the sky) for expandin g their customer base.\n\nThis workshop will bring together leading expert s in this field to discuss the latest technological applications of Optics and Photonics in space. This workshop also aims to foster communication a nd collaboration through networking among the individual engineers and res earchers attending.
