  • Abstract
    This paper presents a review on NASA´s space flight missions using optical fibre technologies. A variety of instrumentation has been built and flown exploiting the advances that optical fiber components have experienced over the last twenty years. All the NASA missions using optical fiber as a transmission link have never reported on-board failures related to the technology.
