DSOC, a tech demo on #MissionToPsyche, works so well that it has graduated from sending pre-loaded test data (remember Taters the laser cat?) to transmitting actual spacecraft telemetry: go.nasa.gov/3xSeATX
On the upcoming @NASAArtemis II mission, the O2O laser comm terminal will showcase how infrared light can send significantly more data than traditional radio systems.
Last month, O2O's ground station was delivered @NASASCaN’s White Sands Complex in New Mexico for installation.
April showers bring May flowers!
Did you know our laser comm ground station locations were chosen for their clear skies and arid climates?
Places like Hawaii, California, and New Mexico ensure laser comm signals are not impacted by atmospheric impacts like clouds and rain.
Developing laser communications systems is no easy feat! Trisha Randazzo led the integration and testing for the laser communications terminal now on the International Space Station - ILLUMA-T!

Did you get last week's trivia right?
We asked if you knew what laser communications
@NASA_Technology demonstrations are currently in space!
Check out the answer below and learn more here: go.nasa.gov/3tMht6F
If you're attending the Satellite 2024 conference in Washington DC, be sure to check out the @NASASCaN booth! (Booth 2660)
There, we will be talking all things network commercialization, new communications and navigation technologies, and engagement opportunities.
Meet Dave Israel, LCRD's principal investigator (PI).
Today, he is our PIE investigator. 😉 #PiDay
Check out his video explaining Pulse Position Modulation using.... you guessed it... a pie! 🎬 ⬇️

Your mission: Solve this #NASAPiDayChallenge that involves transmitting an ultra-high-definition cat video from deep space using Deep Space Optical Communications, or DSOC: go.nasa.gov/48ENJY8
If you are at #SXSW2024, be sure to check out @NASASCaN's panel "NASA's Work in Quantum Science," today at 2:30! The panelist (shown below) will share how NASA is pioneering quantum discovery for space.

A TBT for TBIRD!
In May 2023, TBIRD broke a world record and downlinked 4.8 terabytes of data in a single, 5-minute pass at 200 gigabits per second.
Learn more about this mighty mini satellite: go.nasa.gov/49vp35C
We’ve only barely scratched the surface of quantum physics. What new discoveries are still to be revealed?
If you plan on going to #SXSW, check out “NASA's Work in Quantum Science” panel on March 11 at 2:30 p.m. CDT to explore @NASA's current and future quantum efforts:…
Laser comm can send more data at once. But did you know there are other benefits to this @NASA_Technology?
Laser comm systems are typically smaller, lighter, and use less power. This means more room and power for science instruments capturing data!

It's the end of the week!
Our engineers spent the week experimenting with LCRD and ILLUMA-T, showing how laser communications can benefit missions in space.
Were you laser-focused on work this week? Or having some fun?
Let us know in the comments below. ⬇️ 💬
If you're attending the @IntrepidMuseum's #KidsWeek, stop by our NASA table to learn more about space communications, talk to NASA experts, and participate in fun educational activities! We'll also be highlighting our most recent @NASALaserComm terminal - ILLUMA-T!
We're beaming with pride! 😊📡
Last December, our new @NASALaserComm demo—ILLUMA-T—achieved "first light," connecting with Earth from its home on the @Space_Station via the LCRD satellite relay. This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 😍 #NASAValentines
