Nasa has successfully sent a laser signal about 290 million miles, smashing previous records and potentially transforming our exploration of the solar system. The milestone was reached by Nasa’s Deep ...

Nasa has received a signal from a spacecraft 10 million miles away. The message, delivered using a distant laser, could “transform” communications with spacecraft, the space agency has said. It ...

A German satellite transmitted a laser signal to a ground station mounted on a Jeep in a breakthrough test that could significantly alter space-to-Earth communication, speeding it up and avoiding data ...

NASA has a new trick up its sleeve for space communication. In July 2024, the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) technology demonstration beamed a laser signal to the Psyche spacecraft, which ...

In a significant development, a Chinese satellite appears to have demonstrated a laser strike capability against Starlink, SpaceX's growing satellite internet constellation, from an astonishing ...

NASA's Psyche spacecraft has successfully fired a laser in a deep-space test. On November 14, NASA received a laser signal from an instrument aboard the Psyche spacecraft, currently over 10 million ...

A NASA laser just fired successfully in a deep-space test. On Nov. 14, NASA picked up a laser signal fired from an instrument that launched with the Psyche spacecraft, which is currently more than 10 ...

Researchers at Umeå University and the Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, have developed new laser methods that can quickly detect chemical weapons and harmful bacteria directly on site—without the ...

Researchers have developed a compact laser that emits light with extreme spectral purity that doesn't change in response to environmental conditions. The new potentially portable laser could benefit a ...
