Our newly developed high-rate delay tolerant networking (HDTN) node is launching to the International Space Station on CRS-29! Once integrated, HDTN technology will help NASA demonstrate 4K video streaming in space: go.nasa.gov/48OcaDM

How did NASA Goddard use optical navigation to help guide OSIRIS-REx to the Asteroid Bennu?

They used GIANT software to analyze Bennu's surface and track the particles flying around it! Now they're developing this tech for more advanced future missions: go.nasa.gov/3tTbFs5

Please check your engineer's candy this ! We just found NASA Space Communications and Navigation's ILLUMA-T payload in ours! Spoooooky! ๐Ÿ‘ป ๐ŸŽƒ ๐Ÿฌ

After we get it out of this candy bar, we're sending ILLUMA-T to the Space Station to demonstrate the benefits laser comm can have for missions!

Our ILLUMA-T payload is NASA's Kennedy Space Center, preparing for its journey to the International Space Station. Once installed, ILLUMA-T will demonstrate how NASA Laser Communications technology can offer higher data rates, as well as reduced size and power needs over traditional communications systems.

Absolute astronomical unit. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

One goal of the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment on the Psyche spacecraft is to demonstrate a data uplink spanning about 93 million miles, the average distance between Earth and the Sun โ€” 1 astronomical unit.

Did you know we are infusing NASA Laser Communications into missions? Laser comm offers spacecraft higher data rates โ€“ meaning more data can be sent to Earth at once. Soon, weโ€™ll demonstrate this tech on the upcoming and a payload going to the International Space Station: ILLUMA-T!
