The Space Station Now Has Blisteringly Fast Internet
[Credit: NASA/Dave Ryan]
NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation programme (SCaN) has demonstrated the first two way end-to-end laser relay system, deployed through an innovative network. To test SCaN, they sent data to the International Space Station at the impressive speed of 1.2 gigabits per second.
Using bandwidth that would normally be reserved for more important communications, the chosen message for the test was a set of adorable images and videos featuring the pets of NASA astronauts and staffers.
A group of astronauts and employees from NASA, including Randy Bresnik, Cristina Kock and Kjell Lindgren chose NASA’s first two-way, end-to-end laser relay system test to send photos of their cherished pets to the International Space Station. As full colour images and videos, they are more complex, containing many more pixels than text or technical diagram transmissions.
