Artemis 2 will use lasers to beam high-definition video from the moon (video)
NASA is using lasers to evolve how the agency communicates between spacecraft. In the past, the space agency has relied on radio signals beamed through its Deep Space Network to transmit any sort of scientific data from deep space probes back to Earth. Lasers, however, have the ability to vastly increase the amount of data spacecraft
