Ok, take a deep breath! It is still in the research phase - BUT - this is an impressive demonstration.

Note this is 5X the transmission speed of SpaceX Starlink. https://space4peace.org/chinese-satellite-pulverizes-starlink-with-a-2-watt-laser-from-36000-km-above-earth/ #Space #China #SpaceX #Starlink #Lasers #Laser #LasersinSpace #Optics #Satellite #SatelliteCommunication #Communications #Telecommunications
