NASA’s Deep Space Optical Comm Demo Sends, Receives First Data

By

NASA's Psyche spacecraft is shown in a clean room at the Astrotech Space Operations facility near the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Dec. 8, 2022. DSOC's gold-capped flight laser transceiver can be seen, near center, attached to the spacecraft.

DSOC, an experiment that could transform how spacecraft communicate, has achieved 'first light,' sending data via laser to and from far beyond the Moon for the first time.

Hi. Since I graduated from college, I've been trying to find cool new interesting things to do. Creating special effects wins as my favorite.

Last week, NASA announced that it passed 5,000 planets confirmed to exist outside our humble little solar system. Thanks to current and future space telescopes, the number of these so-called "exoplanets" is climbing fast, though it may take just a wee bit longer to identify all the estimated hundreds of billions of planets that are orbiting stars just here in our Milky Way — itself an average-sized ...

At times the other planets bunch up tight as seen from here, in angles close to the Sun. Publisher: Pocono Record Reference: (Read more) Visit Sourc...

Sometimes half measures can be a good thing – especially on a journey this long. The agency's latest rover only has about 146 million miles left to reach its destination. NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission has logged a lot of flight miles since being lofted skyward on July 30 – 146.3 million miles (235.4 million kilometers) to be exact. Turns out that is exactly the same distance it has to go before the spacecraft hits the Red Planet's atmosphere like a 11,900 mph (19,000 kph) freight train on Feb. 18, 2021.
