Communications in Space & SoMee

Nasa receives signal from 10 million miles away in space (Article in Independent)

The message, delivered using a distant laser, could “transform” communications with spacecraft, the space agency has said.

It represents a successful test of Nasa’s Deep Space Optical Communications or DSOC experiment. It is also the first time that data has been successfully relayed through a laser from further away than the Moon – and marks a rapid increase, at more than 40 times the distance from the lunar surface.

At the moment, almost all communications with craft in deep space is achieved through radio signals, sent and received from vast antennas on Earth. They have proven reliable but their bandwidth is limited, meaning that it is slow or impossible to send large files such as high-definition photos and videos.

SoMee AMA scheduled tomorrow as per previous AMA. Let's hope communications regarding the projects development is clearer to the Community than the radio signals in space, and transforms the on going FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) to a more stable and reliable BUR (Believable Understandable Reassurance) which helps bring back trust into SoMee.
