- NASA beamed a laser message to Earth from 10 million miles away, marking a significant advancement in optical communications technology.
- The test, part of the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment, achieved the first successful optical communication link across nearly 16 million kilometers.
- Using near-infrared laser light allows for increased bandwidth and faster data transmission compared to traditional radio wave methods.
- The laser communication system, installed on the Psyche spacecraft, successfully transmitted data to the Hale Telescope while both were in motion.
- Ongoing tests aim to refine this technology for future high-definition video communications and scientific data transfer between Earth and distant missions.
