In a remarkable breakthrough, NASA has successfully transmitted cat video via laser from deep space, a technical feat that promises to revolutionize communications in space exploration. On December 11, a video of 15 seconds was broadcast in streaming ultra high definition from NASA’s Psyche probe, located approximately 31 million kilometers of the earth. DSOC team members react to the first high-definition streaming video sent by laser from deep space, Dec. 11 at Jet Propulsion Laboratory from NASA. Sent by the DSOC transceiver aboard the Psyche spacecraft, 31 million miles from Earth, the video features a cat named Taters.
The video, featuring Taters, a white and orange cat owned by an employee of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), was sent at an exceptional transmission speed of 267 megabits by second. Ce Speed far exceeds that of a connection internet classic. The transmission, which took 101 seconds to cover the distance, was carried out using a flight laser transceiver, capable of sending and receiving signals in the near infrared.
The Palomar Observatory in California received this signal, which was then broadcast live to JPL where the video was played instantly. This demonstration marks a historic milestone in the field of space communications. The systems of communication by laser, capable of transmitting data at rates 10 to 100 times higher than those of current radiofrequency systems, are envisaged for future space missions, in particular those intended for Mars.
Pam Melroy, deputy administrator at NASA, emphasizes the importance of this advancement in achieving future exploration and scientific goals. This system will transmit complex scientific information, high-definition images and video, essential for human missions beyond theearth orbit.
