Artemis II Will Use Laser Beams in Giant Leap for Space Video — New Optical Tech Will Stream '4K High-Definition Video From the Moon'

NASA's Artemis laser system will send 4K video from the Moon at 260 Mbps

The new system, known as the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications system, or O2O, will allow astronauts aboard Orion to send 4K footage from their mission to Earth at speeds up to 260 megabits per second, according to NASA. The capability marks a shift from radio-based transmissions that defined the...Read Entire Article

Artemis II will use laser beams in giant leap for space video — new optical tech will stream '4K high-definition video from the Moon'

As the Artemis II mission continues towards the moon, we should be treated to some high-def video soon.

NASA Is About to Beam 4K Video From the Moon Using Lasers — and It Could Redefine How Humanity Watches Space Exploration

When the four astronauts aboard Artemis II loop around the Moon as early as next year, they won’t just be making history as the first humans to travel beyond low-Earth orbit in more than half a century. They’ll also be starring in what amounts to the most ambitious live broadcast ever attempted — one transmitted not by conventional radio waves, but by invisible infrared laser beams fired across nearly 240,000 miles of empty space. The technology…

Artemis II will broadcast 4K from the Moon: laser tech could give us YouTube-style views of the lunar surface

The Artemis II crew will communicate with Earth using laser technology installed on the Orion capsule that’s taking them to the Moon and back. NASA says the Artemis II Optical Communications System, or O2O, will provide high speed communications between the astronauts and the ground crew, and will give us 4K videos from the Moon. It’s safe to say technology has moved on since the days of Apollo, at least in terms of the filming and broadcasting …

Lincoln Laboratory Laser Communications Terminal Launches on Historic Artemis II Moon Mission

As it orbits the Moon, the Orion spacecraft will carry an optical (laser) communications system developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in collaboration with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Called the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), the system is capable of higher-bandwidth data.
