A message from 10 million miles away has reached Earth, NASA has announced.<\/p>\n

But it is not some kind of alien message warning us that we're all going to die, or that they come in peace, however. The message, sent by a laser beam, actually originates from NASA, as the boffins try to find better ways of communicating with technology in space.<\/p>\n

The experiment was undertaken by the Deep Space Optical Communications tool travelling onboard NASA's Psyche spacecraft, and it transmitted the message from further away than the Moon currently floats.<\/p>\n

The message is now thought to be the furthest ever optical communication sent in history was even encoded just to make sure the experiment worked correctly.<\/p>\n

What the message contained, however, is not known, but a NASA spokesman said that the "flight laser transceiver \u2013 a cutting-edge instrument aboard Psyche capable of sending and receiving near-infrared signals \u2013 locked onto a powerful uplink laser beacon transmitted from the Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Table Mountain Facility near Wrightwood, California.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Trudy Kortes, director of Technology Demonstrations at NASA HQ, said: \u201cAchieving first light is one of many critical DSOC milestones in the coming months, paving the way toward higher-data-rate communications capable of sending scientific information, high-definition imagery, and streaming video in support of humanity\u2019s next giant leap: sending humans to Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n
