"NASA Receives Laser and Radio Messages from Deep Space"
TL;DR Summary
NASA has been testing a new communication system using its Psyche spacecraft, receiving radio and laser messages from deep space. The Deep Space Optical Communications system allows for faster data transmission compared to radio, with a recent test downloading a picture at a rate 40 times faster than standard radio frequency. By combining radio and laser communication, NASA aims to improve data transmission efficiency and save resources.
