Abstract(in English) We will discuss wireless technologies with emphasis on spacecraft proximity links. The proximity in space covers a link distance from several meters to thousands kilometers. Various telecommunication schemes have been designed for and applied to spacecraft for the proximity links. Those wireless links usually offers line-of-sight ranging and velocity measurement capability, too. It is important to know that their specification is not simply determined by themselves. Within strict constraints on onboard resource allocations like mass, power, and dimensions, the systematic point of view considering a total spacecraft system is also necessary. We will introduce SCOPE mission in this paper, as an example to take a look at the process of such a systematic optimization. It will help you to understand a mission-oriented development of space technologies. In recent years, in addition to inter-spacecraft wireless technologies, intra-spacecraft ones have been within a scope of practical applications. We will also discuss them to remove wire harness within a spacecraft, especially on their purpose and effectiveness, and their future applications.
