RT @NASAJPL: Hello, Psyche! 👋

We've successfully acquired the spacecraft's full signal. Initial telemetry reports show #MissionToPsyche in good health and will now journey 2.2 billion miles to a metal-rich world.

RT @NASAJPL: Remember the tech demo that launched with #MissionToPsyche? Well, it just called home.

It's the first time data has been transmitted – via laser – beyond the Moon, and it could transform how spacecraft communicate.

RT @NASAJPL: It's been a good week for DSOC.

After achieving "first light," the tech demo has also now...
✨Sent data from nearly 12 million miles / 19 million km away.
📈Demonstrated a data rate of nearly 63 megabits per second - as quick as broadband internet. (That's fast for space!)

dsoc, a tech demo on #missiontopsyche, works so well that it has graduated from sending pre-loaded test data (remember taters the laser cat?) to transmitting actual spacecraft telemetry: https://t.co/ly6pzlkryy https://t.co/nnuewryxir

RT @NASAJPL: Remember #MissionToPsyche, which launched last October to investigate a metal-rich asteroid? It's now more than 190 million miles away (300 million km).

The spacecraft is doing well, cruising at 84,000 mph (135,000 kph), and on schedule to arrive at asteroid Psyche in 2029: https://t.co/3tnWC77h5X

It's been a little over a year since #MissionToPsyche launched on its way to study a mysterious metal-rich asteroid. As it cruises along its six-year journey, the team reflects on that day, what the mission has accomplished, and what's ahead. https://t.co/HxNgyK56gw

One year ago, lasers from our #MissionToPsyche spacecraft reached Earth from ~10 million miles away, thanks in part to a device invented by a #smallbiz. Find out how our Deep Space Optical Communications tech and one of #TIMEBestInventions achieved this feat: https://t.co/aikaAgr7Nb
