'An impressive leap': Artemis II used lasers to communicate 100000x faster than the Apollo 13 mission

Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System.

• Artemis II generates data volumes that old systems cannot handle efficiently
• Laser communications transmit far more data than traditional radio systems
• Infrared light enables high-speed space communication across vast distances

The sheer volume of data generated during modern lunar missions has rendered old radio systems nearly obsolete.
