Getting a live play-by-play of astronauts in space during future Artemis moon missions could eventually be possible thanks to laser technology.NASA is testing a space communication method that, instead of using radio waves to transmit data and videos, uses a laser beam to connect ground control on Earth with astronauts on the moon.
The bar has been set for a while, with NASA teams making huge strides in laser communications since an experiment performed in December of 2023. After years of working on the technology, during this test, a video of Taters the cat was sent through a laser communications streaming service from 19 million miles away back to Earth.
