  • NASA, using the Psyche Spacecraft, just laser beamed a message from 10 million miles deep in space to Caltech's Hale Telescope.  Here's why this is so important:
  • This laser beamed message is a world first
  • NASA calls it a "major scientific breakthrough of receiving first light"
  • The transmission is the first optical communications from beyond the Earth Moon system
  • Transmission took 50 seconds
  • Carried tons of encoded data
  • It could lead to a breakthrough new form of spacecraft communications
  • Viewed as a major step to sending astronauts to Mars and sending scientific data, HD images and streaming video
  • Uses a flight laser transceiver, ground laser transmitter and other  technologies
  • Travelled 40-times farther than the distance between Earth and the Moon.
