The milestone is part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/tdm\/\">NASA technology demonstration<\/a> aimed at streaming very high-bandwidth video and other data from deep space \u2013 enabling future human missions beyond Earth orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis accomplishment underscores our commitment to advancing optical communications as a key element to meeting our future data transmission needs,\u201d said NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy. \u201cIncreasing our bandwidth is essential to achieving our future exploration and science goals, and we look forward to the continued advancement of this technology and the transformation of how we communicate during future interplanetary missions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demo transmitted the 15-second test video via a cutting-edge instrument called a <a href=\"https:\/\/photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov\/catalog\/PIA24569\" rel=\"noopener\">flight laser transceiver<\/a>. The video signal took 101 seconds to reach Earth, sent at the system\u2019s maximum bit rate of 267 megabits per second (Mbps). Capable of sending and receiving near-infrared signals, the instrument beamed an encoded near-infrared laser to the Hale Telescope at Caltech\u2019s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, where it was downloaded. Each frame from the looping video was then sent \u201clive\u201d to NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, where the video was played in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Video NASA\u2019s Laser Communications Experiment Streamed From Deep Space\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GvJtVOmFs5Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This 15-second clip shows the first ultra-high-definition video sent via laser from deep space, featuring a cat named Taters chasing a laser with test graphics overlayed.

As Psyche travels to the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the technology demonstration will send high-data-rate signals as far out as the Red Planet\u2019s greatest distance from Earth. In doing so, it paves the way for higher-data-rate communications capable of sending complex scientific information, high-definition imagery, and video in support of humanity\u2019s next giant leap: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/moontomarsarchitecture\/\">sending humans to Mars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the goals is to demonstrate the ability to transmit broadband video across millions of miles. Nothing on Psyche generates video data, so we usually send packets of randomly generated test data,\u201d said Bill Klipstein, the tech demo\u2019s project manager at JPL. \u201cBut to make this significant event more memorable, we decided to work with designers at JPL to create a fun video, which captures the essence of the demo as part of the Psyche mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Feline Frequency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uploaded before launch, the short ultra-high definition video features an orange tabby cat named Taters, the pet of a JPL employee, chasing a laser pointer, with overlayed graphics. The graphics illustrate several features from the tech demo, such as Psyche\u2019s orbital path, Palomar\u2019s telescope dome, and technical information about the laser and its data bit rate.

Since then, the system has demonstrated faster data downlink speeds and increased pointing accuracy during its weekly checkouts. On the night of Dec. 4, the project demonstrated downlink bit rates of 62.5 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 267 Mbps, which is comparable to broadband internet download speeds. The team was able to download a total of 1.3 terabits of data during that time. As a comparison, NASA\u2019s Magellan mission to Venus downlinked 1.2 terabits <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/magellan\/\" rel=\"noopener\">during its entire mission<\/a> from 1990 to 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we achieved first light, we were excited, but also cautious. This is a new technology, and we are experimenting with how it works,\u201d said Ken Andrews, project flight operations lead at JPL. \u201cBut now, with the help of our Psyche colleagues, we are getting used to working with the system and can lock onto the spacecraft and ground terminals for longer than we could previously. We are learning something new during each checkout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More About the Mission<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deep Space Optical Communications demonstration is the latest in a series of optical communication demonstrations funded by the Technology Demonstration Missions (TDM) program under NASA\u2019s Space Technology Mission Directorate and supported by NASA\u2019s SCaN (Space Communications and Navigation) program within the agency\u2019s Space Operations Mission Directorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/missions\/psyche\" rel=\"noopener\">Psyche mission<\/a> is led by Arizona State University.
