#NASA is looking into developing a relay system of #communications 📶 satellites placed in other locations in the #SolarSystem 🌌, which could cut down the two-week blackout (when the Sun is between Earth and #Mars 🔴) to just a few hours. #LaserCommunications would allow for more data per second, with superior signal fidelity https://www.planetary.org/articles/challenges-facing-the-human-exploration-of-mars

The 29th commercial resupply services mission (CRS-29) to the International Space Station launches tonight. Among other things, it will deliver ILLUMA-T, a #laserCommunications terminal that will be used to experiment with communications to the ground via the #LCRD laser communications relay satellite. More information about ILLUMA-T can be found here:
https://www.nasa.gov/mission/illumat/

Launch currently looks like it's scheduled for 8:28 pm. It will be live streamed, and there are several ways to watch it (1/2).
