The Terabyte Infrared Delivery (TBIRD) program will establish an optical communication link from a 6U CubeSat in low-Earth orbit (LEO) to a ground station at burst rates up to 200 Gbps, resulting in data volumes that can exceed 1 Terabyte in a single pass. The space and ground terminals utilize com-mercially available 1550-nm coherent transceivers in conjunction with an automatic repeat request (ARQ) system to guarantee robust communication in the presence of an atmospheric fading channel. This allows the system to perform a reliable end-to-end transfer of data from the payload's 2-TB storage buffer to the ground terminal. In this paper, we describe the system architecture, link analysis, and concept of operations for the upcoming TBIRD flight demonstration in 2022. We also provide an update on the development of the 3U terminal payload and the ground terminal at JPL's Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory (OCTL).
