  • How might lasers revolutionize deep space communications? NASA will test high-bandwidth laser (or optical) communications for the first time beyond the Moon with a pioneering technology demonstration called Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC).
    If successful, this kind of laser communications technology could be used to transmit large volumes of data - such as streaming video and higher-resolution science observations - from robotic spacecraft and from future astronauts exploring Mars.
    DSOC is attached to NASA’s Psyche spacecraft and will send and receive signals during the first two years of Psyche’s six-year journey to the metal-rich asteroid of the same name. During its demonstration period, DSOC will not be transmitting Psyche data, but rather its own set of data. The experiment involves a transceiver on the spacecraft along with two ground stations - one at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Table Mountain facility and the other at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory.
    Psyche and DSOC are expected to launch in October 2023
    Learn more about the DSOC experiment at nasa.gov/techn...
    The DSOC experiment is sponsored by the Technology Demonstration Missions program within NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate and the Space Communications and Navigation program within the agency’s Space Operations Mission Directorate. The agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the DSOC project for NASA.

    What's needed is a large number of small probes in Solar orbit, each with a large capacity data storage, several lasers and laser receivers, and various cameras and other sensors. Also orbit one around every planet, every moon, every large asteroid. That way data could "bucket brigade" back to Earth by laser beam from any probe, anywhere in the solar system, if equipped with laser communication. The relays would themselves be used to collect information and could be used together as a synthetic aperture telescope across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The trick would be coordinating observations with sensors spaced several light seconds to light hours apart.

    about a month ago i recorded in the sky thinking they was shooting stars but they wasn’t for sure must of been and army of alliens or something cause they all seem about 4 feet apart from each other and was moving in one direction all line up i was in the mountains when i saw this well my wife did and i started recording with my phone but with that i saw it was more than enough we are not alone in this galaxy of ours

    • @nightjarflying
      @nightjarflying 11 місяців тому

      So you don't know what it was therefore it MUST be aliens - that is soft minded thinking. "4 feet apart from each other" - what nonsense! How did you arrive at that figure when you have no idea of the altitude of the objects? What you saw was almost certainly a Starlink satellite internet constellation being deployed into orbit a few hundred miles above you - or a constellation that is already in orbit. American aerospace company SpaceX, has thousands of these small satellites in Low Earth Orbit & they appear in the sky in groups that follow the same path.

    So in JC's Avatar with a few relay satellites could we achieve interstellar communication and how long will the delay be as a laser signal would have to travel 5 light years?

    • @garethwynn01

      The delay would be 5 years. No information can travel faster than the speed of light (according to our current understanding of physics).

    Good! now we can make the best Minecraft server for the whole solar system now we need a motherboar that run ddr10 rams with overclocking intel proccessor quantum server and 120 rtx 4070 graphics card. Imagen this
    Player 1: Buddy where you from ?
    Player 2: I'm from Mars!
    Player 1: No way *pogger*
    That would also been a groundbreaking for everyone. Imagen that would discover other species that pirate our game just to sneak in and study us trought there.
