On Tuesday, a gold-capped laser transceiver associated with the asteroid probe Psyche achieved a significant milestone by activating its laser for the first time.

This Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment, conducted by NASA, successfully transmitted and received data encoded within a near-infrared laser from a distance of nearly 10 million miles in deep space (16 million kilometers).

The laser beams communicated with the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, marking the farthest reach of laser-based communication, Gizmodo reported.
