Laser communication is the future! @NASASCaN DSOC will help demonstrate its potential. Congrats to @NASAJPL for solving the challenging pointing accuracy. This would be much easier once ultra-quiet magnetic bearings will be available. #MissionToPsyche #DSOC #space #NASA
The @NASA_Technology @NASASCaN DSOC tech demo onboard the #MissionToPsyche spacecraft inspired @josmeist, a computer graphics technology student from @IUPUI, to create a "SDOC" (Small Desktop Optical Comm!) sculpture for himself:

@NASAWebb The precision and longevity of reaction wheels is unbeatable! not the same can be said for the jitter generated by the ball bearings. Kudos for having mitigated the pointing error!
