The ILLUMA-T payload was sent to the ISS in late 2023 on SpaceX CRS-29, and achieved first light on December 5, 2023. [31] [32] On April 28, 2023, NASA and its partners achieved 200 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) throughput on a space-to-ground optical link between a satellite in orbit and Earth.
The laser beams from the spacecraft will be received by the 200 inch (5 m) Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory in California. [4] Laser beams to the spacecraft will be sent from a smaller telescope at the Table Mountain Observatory in California. First light was achieved on 14 November 2023. [5]
It routinely downloads high-volume data from the Sentinel 1A/B and Sentinel 2A/B spacecraft to ground. So far (April 2019) more than 20000 links (11 PBit) have been performed. [23] As of May 2023, EDRS has over one million minutes of communications [24] with more than 50,000 successful inter-satellite links. [25] [26]

The test-runs of the laser equipment are planned to occur over distances of 0.1 to 2.5 astronomical units (AU) on the outward-bound probe. [54] The first successful test of the system occurred on December 11, 2023, when a cat video of an employee's cat playing with a laser pointer was streamed back to Earth from a distance of 31 million ...

The goal of the OPALS mission was to demonstrate a downlink of a short video from space using laser communication. In doing so, the following was studied: Maintenance of an optical link between the ground and space with various environmental and operational conditions [7] Processing of distorted data [7]
Dennis retired at the end of the 2023 season after a career in which he won stages at the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana. A multiple world champion on both road and track, he ...
