OPALS (Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science) is an optical communications link module developed by JPL and mounted on the International Space Station. It established a 50 Mbps link with the Optical Communications Test Laboratory in Table Mountain, California, which was used to transmit a high-definition video clip. OPALS flew on the SpaceX CRS-3 resupply mission in April 2014.
