Breakthrough! NASA’s laser: Deep space communication hits unprecedented distance
[ad_1]
NASA's groundbreaking Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment has shattered records, achieving "first light" by successfully transmitting data via laser over an astounding distance of nearly 10 million miles (16 million km). This achievement, approximately 40 times farther than the Moon's distance from Earth, signals a transformative leap in deep space communication technology.DSOC Sets a New StandardPart of the recently launched Psyche spacecraft, the DSOC experiment utilised a near-infrared laser loaded with test data to communicate with the Hale Telescope at Caltech's Palomar Observatory in California. This milestone sets a new record for optical communications, positioning DSOC as a game-changing technology for deep space communication, according to NASA. First Li...
