"Is this all proof that the Solar System Internet is about sending cat photos after all?" - Vint Cerf, in conversation with Ernie the Cat during a virtual meeting. Vint Cerf is an internet pioneer and has been working with NASA on DTN for over 25 years.

The International Space Station conducts research of all kinds—including new NASA Technology. In a recent demo, NASA transmitted pet photos and videos to and from the ILLUMA-T hardware to demonstrate how laser communications can readily transfer large data files. go.nasa.gov/3KCiqUh

#TBT to LCRD Before LCRD launched in 2021 to geosynchronous orbit, it was NASA Goddard going through integration & testing in a clean room. Since launch, LCRD has conducted over 1,300 experiment configurations, helping us refine this NASA Technology. go.nasa.gov/4cEjfbh

4K video streaming to space? We did that! 👏 On June 26, we made history by streaming 4K video footage from Earth to the @space_station. The video was sent from @NASAGlenn across our networks using several NASA Laser Communications links and HDTN technology. More: go.nasa.gov/48OcaDM

Blue, white, and .... infraRED...Happy 4th of July! Did you know the lasers used for laser communications are made up of infrared light and are invisible to the human eye? Learn more about some recent laser comm experiments NASA Space Communications and Navigation conducted here: go.nasa.gov/3VMDw7w

Together, ILLUMA-T and LCRD made up NASA Space Communications and Navigation's first 2-way, end-to-end laser relay system. They conducted over 6 months of experiments - showing off the higher data rates of infrared light and unique networking techniques like DTN. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3KCiqUh

The International Space Station is a hub for all kinds of demonstrations! ILLUMA-T left the station so that a new experiment can take its spot. Although we were sad to see our payload go, ILLUMA-T confirmed that laser comm can significantly benefit human spaceflight missions! This sped-up

With ILLUMA-T off of the station, LCRD will continue its mission in geosynchronous orbit – acting as a platform for laser communications and networking experiments. Some of these experiments include testing adaptive optics, signal switching, and more: go.nasa.gov/3Lh8n7s

Our next demonstration of laser communications will be on NASA Artemis II. The O2O laser comm terminal on Orion will test if we can send high-def photos and videos from a crewed lunar mission. Learn more about O2O: go.nasa.gov/3ucF1BU

This just in! Engineers temporarily installed a portable laser terminal on the belly of @NASAGlenn’s PC-12 aircraft as a way to test new laser communications technologies before launching them to space. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4bTXFPf

4K videoconferencing for NASA Artemis? Yes please! 😍 The High-Rate Delay Tolerant Networking team at @NASAGlenn is using specialized aeronautics testing over Cleveland, Ohio to develop @nasa_technology that can stream 4k video footage to and from space. go.nasa.gov/4bTXFPf

This summer, Scott Joffre was a NASA Internships! He analyzed seasonal temperature variations and their impact on LCRD operations. Using his findings, Scott established a preliminary re-calibration of LCRD’s pointing for operators to use when temperatures are hotter.

This #BackToSchool season, spark excitement with NASA Engages! 🔥 Whether for career fairs, demonstrations, expert panels, science fairs, or competitions, use our new online tool to make connecting with NASA easier than ever: nasa.gov/news-release/n…

Laser communications systems go for the gold too! 🏅 Laser comm demonstrations TBIRD and DSOC have both broken world records. TBIRD for the fastest data transfer over laser links at 200 Gbps, and DSOC for furthest laser link at 140 million miles away! #Olympics

Looking to learn more about lasers? Check out these cool NASA STEM activities for students from K to 12th grade! These fun-filled, standards-based activities can be done at home or in a classroom. go.nasa.gov/3Q7Zjla #BackToSchool

Help us send space to #SXSW! We're featuring our ongoing work to understand Earth, the distant universe, and everywhere in between. Follow NASA Exhibit to learn more—and vote for our panels by Friday, Aug. 16: panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote

Pew Pew! NASA's laser comm systems allow missions to send more data in a single link. More data means more discoveries.... about space and cats! 🐱 🌌 Want to learn more? Vote for our #SXSW panel: panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/152784

See how LCRD sends its data over laser links?? Very #demure, very #mindful.

Beam me up? We're not quite sending people or animals as particles yet, but this summer, the NASA Laser Communications Relay Demonstration used laser beams to send pictures of pets from Earth to the International Space Station. Happy Star Trek Day! 🖖 go.nasa.gov/4cUNkmz

Did you know NASA Space Communications and Navigation is developing an optical ground terminal for Artemis II? The O2O terminal on NASA Artemis II will demonstrate laser comm from the Moon! Currently, one of O2O's ground stations is in development at NASA Goddard's White Sands Complex in New Mexico.
