Groundbreaking Milestone with Infrared Laser Signals
Exciting News!
Researchers at The University of Western Australia led by EQUS Associate Investigator Sascha Schediwy, have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully receiving infrared laser signals from a satellite in low Earth orbit.
This incredible engineering feat could revolutionize space communication, paving the way for a 1,000-fold increase in communication speeds between Earth and space!
Infrared lasers offer a solution with their higher frequency, allowing for significantly faster data transfer.
