NASA is developing a trailblazing, long-term technology demonstration of what could become the high-speed internet of the sky. The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) will help NASA ...

Researchers have set a new record for the fastest space-to-ground laser communications with data rates of 200 gigabits per second. The blistering speed is 100 times faster than the swiftest internet ...

NASA will soon demonstrate a laser-based communication system between ground facilities and the International Space Station (ISS). The technology will boost data transmission speeds by 10 to 100 times ...

Currently, fiber optics are the fastest and most reliable medium for internet connectivity, providing consumers with data transfer speeds of up to 2 Gbps (gigabits per second). However, these transfer ...

The space agency is seeking more efficient ways of communicating with spacecraft as it prepares for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Reading time 2 minutes A tiny gold-coated satellite lifted off ...

NASA has discovered CWISE J1249, a mysterious red celestial object moving at over one million miles per hour through the Milky Way. This object, with its extremely low mass and unique infrared ...

The sighting of a bright red sphere racing out of our galaxy at extreme speed has handed NASA one of its strangest puzzles in years. The object’s color, shape, and apparent velocity combine into a ...

NASA’s new experimental aircraft, the X-59, is one step closer to taking to the skies. This sleek, 100-foot-long plane, often called the “son of Concorde,” completed its first low-speed taxi tests in ...

NASA has once again benefited from doing its due diligence as a company and remaining committed to making discoveries. This time, NASA spotted a mysterious green glow on Jupiter as it travelled at ...

NASA’s X-43A research vehicle screamed into the record books today, demonstrating an air-breathing engine can fly at nearly 10 times the speed of sound. Preliminary data from the scramjet-powered ...
