China’s 2026 moon laser communication speed is slower than Nasa’s in 2013
China has pulled off two-way laser communication between Earth and the moon, making it only the second nation after the United States to do so. But the data rates it achieved were well behind those recorded by Nasa more than a decade ago, and that has left space experts scratching their heads. Using telescopes in Yunnan province and an experimental satellite that is now orbiting the moon after a launch mishap in 2024, the team recorded a downlin…

China has broken new ground in space communications, establishing the first two-way laser link at a distance of more than 400,000 kilometers. The experiment, conducted between a ground station and the DRO-A satellite, demonstrated that large amounts of data can be transferred at speeds far higher than current systems […]
The most serious problems with laser connections have been solved, and the connection between the Earth and the Moon can be made at a speed of 100 megabits.
