Kepri, KepriDays.co.id – NASA’s spacecraft recently succeeded in sending a laser signal 466 million kilometers, breaking the previous record and which could change the study of the solar system.
This achievement was made while documenting NASA’s Space Optical Communications technology, which is investigating the possibility of using lasers to send messages to space at speeds up to 100 times faster than radio frequencies that are used use today.
As reported by the Independent, this vehicle was sent to the Psyche spacecraft at a distance of about 460 million kilometers, which is the same as the distance between Earth and Mars when they were at their furthest point. away.
The probe was launched in October 2023 and the main mission in sending this signal was to study the asteroid of the same name. This spacecraft will also carry a NASA experiment to test laser communication through space.
NASA’s capture came after NASA’s Perseverance rover captured stunning images of a two kilometer high “dust devil” on Mars. This amazing sight, which looks like a tall “demon”, was seen as part of the rover’s atmospheric survey of Jezero Crater.
