NASA has taken cat videos to a whole new level, with its Psyche Deep Space Optical Communications experiment beaming a 15-second high-definition clip of a playful tabby across 19 million miles (31 million km) of space to Earth.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading NASA beams cute cat video back to Earth from deep space
NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) unit aboard the Psyche spacecraft has switched on, establishing a super-speed laser data link at a distance of 10 million miles (16 million km), or 40 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.Continu… Continue reading NASA tests laser communications across 10 million miles of space
NASA’s deep-space probe to an estimated US$10-quadrillion metal-rich asteroid is on its way. The Psyche mission lifted off on October 13 at 10:19 am EDT from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.Co… Continue reading NASA mission to US$10-quadrillion asteroid lifts off
When NASA’s Psyche probe launches in October on its mission to a metal asteroid as much as 309 million miles (497 million km) from Earth, it will be carrying a new laser communications system that promises to revolutionize deep space missions.Continue … Continue reading NASA installs laser communication system on Psyche asteroid probe
Talk about playing on hard mode! The news this week was rife with stories about Palmer Luckey’s murder-modified VR headset, which ostensibly kills the wearer if their character dies in-game. …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: November 13, 2022
NASA has given its approval to start construction of a spacecraft that will one day explore the metallic asteroid Psyche, which may represent the exposed metallic core of what was once a Mars-sized planet. The probe is set to launch in August… Continue reading NASA gives go-ahead for mission to explore ancient planet core in asteroid belt
NASA called in a Hollywood illustrator to visualize its next big target: the metal-filled asteroid 16 Psyche. Continue reading The Artist Who’s Helping NASA Get to an Asteroid
