From celebrating the ISS Flip Flop Friday to the RNASA banquet my last day at NASA was a big one. Thank you to all the well wishers!

The Near Space Network is infusing laser communications!

Traditionally, space communication occurs over radio frequency signals, but NASA Laser Communications offers missions higher data rates – meaning more data from space in a single transmission. More data = more discoveries.
