This summer, we pulled off something historic: four successful laser links with NASA's Psyche spacecraft — over 300 million kilometres away.

From mountaintops in Greece, our team fired laser beams across the Solar System, caught signals just a few photons strong, and even received… a cat video. Yes, the first-ever interplanetary cat chasing a laser!

Why does it matter? Because optical communications can one day send huge amounts of data across deep space at lightning speed — from Mars missions to telescopes at the edge of the Solar System.

Europe has now shown it’s ready to support the future of deep-space laser communications. And that future looks brighter than ever.
