NASA’s Psyche Spacecraft Beams Cat Video Via Laser

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft achieved a historic milestone by transmitting an ultra-high-resolution video to Earth via laser, covering an extraordinary distance of 31 million kilometers—80 times the Earth-Moon distance. The 15-second video, featuring a NASA employee’s cat named “Taters,” was sent at a staggering speed of 267 megabits per second and reached the Caltech Palomar Observatory in just 101 seconds. This breakthrough in deep space communication highlights NASA’s commitment to advancing optical communications, revolutionizing interplanetary data transmission and paving the way for future missions.
