A video with a cat was despatched again from deep area by NASA’s laser communications, based on NASA.
The cat belonged to one of many lab staff and is called Taters, based on the Times.
NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications on Dec. 11 from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. had been in a position to beam an ultra-high definition streaming video from round 20 miles away, based on the New York Times. It was the primary time was streamed from tens of millions of miles away.
The demonstration of the cat video stream was performed by NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications which is working to enhance “the infrastructure for communication beyond the Earth’s orbit,” the newspaper reported.
“This accomplishment underscores our commitment to advancing optical communications as a key element to meeting our future data transmission needs,” mentioned NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy. “Increasing 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.”
“One 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,” mentioned Bill Klipstein, the tech demo’s venture supervisor at JPL. “But 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.”
