Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 18, 2024 - NASA's Near Space Network has successfully enabled the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission to transmit its inaugural set of operational data to Earth, utilizing innovative data-
Cheers and applause erupted this weekend when NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft sent back the first usable data from interstellar space after a five-month communication gap. Engineers with Voyager's flight team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have been troubleshooting an issue since November, when the spacecraft, more than 15.1 billion miles from Earth, began sending back nonsense computer code. On Saturday, after 45 hours of waiting to find out if their plan to send the...
So far, the communication laser is even faster and more reliable than NASA had hoped.
Earth just received a laser transmission from a world (and perhaps universe) record-breaking 140 million miles away -- which could have major implications for the future of space travel.
Satellites may have been ‘less than 10 metres’ apart when they narrowly missed each other, new analysis shows
Riding aboard NASA's Psyche spacecraft, the agency's Deep Space Optical Communications technology demonstration continues to break records. While the asteroid-bound spacecraft doesn't rely on optical communications to send data, the new technology has proven that it's up to the task. After interfacing with the Psyche's radio frequency transmitter, the laser communications demo sent a copy of engineering data from over 140 million miles (226 million kilometers) away, 1.5 times the distance...
The Federal Communications Commission fined four US wireless carriers close to $200 million for illegally sharing access to customers' location data.AT&T was fined over $57 million, and Verizon was fined almost $47 million. T-Mobile and Sprint, which merged since the investigation began, have been fined $92 million collectively, the FCC said on Monday."Our communications providers have access to some of the most sensitive information about us," FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in the...
NASA has confirmed a significant milestone for its Psyche spacecraft's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment. This technology demonstration aims to test laser-based data links beyond the Earth-Moon system. After integrating with the spacecraft's radio frequency transmitter, NASA reported that the DSOC module successfully transmitted a copy of engineering dataRead Entire Article
