Scientists successfully sent and received laser messages between Earth and the DSOC experiment aboard the Psyche spacecraft.

The space agency says this is the farthest-ever demonstration of optical communications.

Eventually, we're going to want to expand the World Wide Web across the galaxy, and NASA just demonstrated a key piece of tech that could help, beaming messages via laser across a distance of almost 16 million kilometers or 10 million miles.

This was NASA's first test of its Deep Space Optical Communications system, which could one day bring streaming to Mars.

NASA announced on Thursday that the agency successfully received data in the farthest-ever demonstration of laser, or optical, communications.

Artemis II NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch of NASA, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen viewed the core stage for

NASA beamed a near-infrared laser encoded with test data from more than 16 million km away. Here is the latest.

A laser beamed from over 100 million miles away has just struck Earth. But unlike the movie Independence Day, this laser is perfectly harmless - and NASA says aliens arent to blame.

NASA's Psyche spacecraft has successfully fired a laser in a deep-space test. NASA's Psyche spacecraft has successfully fired a laser in a deep-space test.
