Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) - NASA

NASA’s Deep Space Optical Comminications (DSOC) experiment is the agency’s first demonstration of optical communications beyond the Earth-Moon system. DSOC is a system that consists of a flight laser transceiver, a ground laser transmitter, and a ground laser receiver. New advanced technologies have been implemented in each of these elements.
