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

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.

NASA’s recently launched asteroid hunter, Psyche, is designed to give us a look at a body that could resemble depths far within the Earth, where we can never go.

But one instrument tagging along for a ride is exciting scientists who specialize in a completely different field — that of space communications.
