In December 2023 , a video of an orange tabby cat named Taters chasing a laser pointer up and down a couch was transmitted from 19 million miles away from Earth .
The DSOC laser transceiver is the first demonstration of optical communication from distances as far away as Mars .
Optical communication systems pack data into the oscillations of light waves in lasers, encoding a message into an optical signal that is carried to a receiver through infrared beams.
Longer distances make it more difficult for space lasers to precisely hit a target on Earth .
In July , DSOC sent a laser signal from Earth to the Psyche spacecraft from a distance of 290 million miles ( 460 million kilometers ) The farther away Psyche travels on its way to its asteroid target, the fainter the laser photon signal will become.
