ISS just got lit with laser observations!

NASA Laser Communications achieved communication from the ILLUMA-T to the demonstrator (LCRD) allowing for higher-data-rate communications capable of sending scientific information, high-definition imagery & more.

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.

Today, if you look up in the sky, you'll be able to see a solar !

Laser comm signals are traverse the skies too but you can't see them because the infrared light is invisible to the human eye.

Have fun out there today & remember to wear those glasses!๐ŸŒž ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒ‘
