Earth Has Received Message From 10 Million Miles Away

Earth received a laser-beamed message from 10 million miles away in space this week. The message was sent from NASA's Psyche spacecraft. It is currently on its way to orbit a metal asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. However, the message was sent using a new technology called deep space optical communications (DSOC). Earth has just got a message sent by a laser from a whopping 10 million miles away. NASA used lasers to send data from a spacecraft called Psyche, which is exploring an asteroid. This test, done on November 14, might improve how spacecraft communicate. The Psyche spacecraft uses a special system called DSOC for optical communications beyond the Earth-Moon system. It has a flight laser transceiver, a ground laser transmitter, and a ground laser receiver. The message that ...

A defunct NASA spacecraft returns to Earth after 21 years

After 21 years of orbiting in space, a defunct NASA spacecraft has finally made its way back to Earth. The spacecraft called the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), was a groundbreaking mission. It helped scientists study the high-energy universe and discover some of the most mysterious objects in the cosmos. Its return to Earth marks the end of an era of space exploration. This return also presents a unique opportunity for researchers to study the effects of long-term spaceflight on hardware. The CGRO was the second of NASA's Great Observatories. NASA launched CGRO on April 5, 1991. It consisted of a series of four space telescopes that aimed to study the universe in different wavelengths of light. The CGRO was designed to detect gamma rays, the most energetic form of light. It can ...
