Located on NASA's Psyche spacecraft, deep space optical communication technology continuously breaks records. While the spacecraft does not rely on optical communication for data transmission, the new technology demonstrates its capability to fulfill this task. After connecting to Psyche's radio frequency transmitter, the laser communication system sends a copy of technical data over a record distance of 225 million kilometers, 1.5 times the distance between Earth and the Sun, as reported by Phys.org on April 25.
