NASA has transmitted an ultra-high-definition video to Earth from nearly 19 million miles away using laser communications in what it said was a “historic milestone”.The video, featuring a cat named Taters, was sent via a Deep Space Optical Communications transceiver aboard the Psyche spacecraft.In the video, Taters, who belongs to an employee of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), chases a laser pointer. Overlaid graphics on the video display information such as Taters’ heart rate, NASA said.The goal of the experiment was to develop the ability to transmit “complex scientific information, high-definition imagery, and video” to support “humanity’s next giant leap” of sending humans to Mars, according to NASA.The video signal took 101 seconds to reach Earth.
