NASA successfully demonstrated the ability to send ultra-high-definition streaming video from deep space via laser, transmitting a 15-second video from the Psyche spacecraft to Earth across 19 million miles.
This is the first time in history that this technology has been implemented and features orange cat Taters chasing laser dots. The video signal was sent from Psyche on December 11 and took just 101 seconds to reach Earth. Before uploading, the video is sent back to Earth via a laser transceiver on Psyche at a rate of 267Mbps.
This technology will provide faster, high-definition transmission for future deep space communications and promote the progress of space exploration.
