When NASA’s towering Space Launch System rocket launches in November 2024 , the Artemis 2 mission will carry four astronauts and a cutting edge communications device as vital as the craft’s life support systems.
the Orion Artemis 2 Optical Communication System will serve as the crew’s main link to NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston.Artemis won’t land on the moon – the Orion spacecraft is capable of atmospheric reentry and splashdown on an Earthly ocean, but not touchdown on solid land. It’ll fly around the moon, reaching 40,000 miles away from it, while beaming gigabytes of moon footage back to the Earth. The O2O can transmit the equivalent of about 30 streaming HD movies at one time.
. “If you recall the images from the Apollo mission, they were grainy and difficult to see, but O2O will allow Artemis astronauts to send videos and images significantly more vivid and detailed.”How Did NASA Develop Laser Communication? , 2013, the small robotic craft connected by laser to a ground station at NASA’s White Sands Complex in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and sent a high-definition video streams to and from the moon.Now that laser communication had demonstrated its usefulness, NASA began to launch new laser infrastructure into Earth's orbit, to send and receive messages and study the new technology.
