NASA, using the Psyche Spacecraft, just laser beamed a message from 10 million miles deep in space to Caltech's Hale Telescope. Here's why this is so important:
This laser beamed message is a world first
NASA calls it a "major scientific breakthrough of receiving first light"
The transmission is the first optical communications from beyond the Earth Moon system
Transmission took 50 seconds
Carried tons of encoded data
It could lead to a breakthrough new form of spacecraft communications
Viewed as a major step to sending astronauts to Mars and send scientific data, HD images and stream video
Uses a flight laser transceiver, ground laser transmitter and other technologies
Travelled 40-times farther than the distance between Earth and the Moon.
