Slated to launch on Oct. 12 with the Psyche mission, DSOC will demonstrate technologies enabling the agency to transmit higher data rates from deep space.
to a metal-rich asteroid of the same name on Thursday, Oct. 12, DSOC will test key technologies designed to enable future missions to transmit denser science data and even stream video from the Red Planet.1. DSOC is the first time NASA will test how lasers could increase data transmission from deep space.
Learn more about how DSOC will be used to test high-bandwidth data transmission beyond the Moon for the first time – and how it could transform deep space exploration.

Data sent from the flight transceiver will be collected by the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, which has been equipped with a specialDSOC is intended to demonstrate high-rate transmission of data of distances up to 240 million miles – more than twice the distance between the Sun and Earth – during the first two years of Psyche’s six-year journey to the asteroid belt.
4. Cutting-edge technologies will work together to make sure the lasers are on target and high-bandwidth data is received from deep space.
