“#NASA to show off space lasers, enabling faster transfer of data between Earth and space<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

NASA\u00a0is planning to unveil a new laser communications system next month that will allow data to be transmitted between Earth and\u00a0space\u00a0at an accelerated rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Slated for launch on June 23, NASA\u2019s Laser Communications Relay Demonstrations (LCRD) replaces radio frequency communications, which NASA has used since the beginning of spaceflight in the 1950s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Missions to space have frequently required capturing high-definition data like 4K video. With radiofrequency systems, it would take roughly nine weeks to transmit a complete map of Mars back to Earth; with laser, it would take about nine days, according to\u00a0NASA<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Laser communications will allow 10 to 100 times more data transmitted back to Earth and open the doors to new discoveries. Additionally, they will require less volume, weight and power, giving more for science<\/a> instruments and pose less of a drain on spacecraft power systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLCRD will demonstrate all of the advantages of using laser systems and allow us to learn how to use them best operationally,\u201d said Principal Investigator David Israel at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in a statement. \u201cWith this capability further proven, we can start to implement laser communications on more missions, making it a standardized way to send and receive data.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

LCRD\u2019s initial simulation will occur at ground stations in California and Hawaii, allowing NASA to study atmospheric disturbances on lasers. The technology<\/a> will then be used to support real space missions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Integrated Low-Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal (ILLUMA-T), set to launch to the International Space Station in 2022, will be the first in-space user of LCRD.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
