Laser Communications could reshape military space networks as research shows adaptable laser links nearing use.

While the raw speed isn't too impressive, it was achieved using a laser with less power than an energy-saving lightbulb.

In May 2022, the TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) payload onboard a small CubeSat satellite was launched into orbit 300 miles above Earth’s surface. Since then, TBIRD has delivered terabytes of data ...

The use of invisible lasers in space may sound like something from science fiction, but it's real. NASA's Laser Communications Relay Demonstration could revolutionize the way the agency communicates ...

Scientists at the European Space Agency used a laser to communicate with a spacecraft 165 million miles (265 million kilometers) away in deep space for the first time, marking a major step forward in ...
