NASA engaged in the preparation of precious gems in space
NASA to launch Psyche asteroid mission in October
This mission will test laser communication in space
Even though asteroids are very dangerous for the earth, immense possibilities of precious metals are also expressed in them. NASA is going to launch Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) Flight Transceiver Psyche spacecraft mission to collect information and make contact with asteroids. This mission will be launched in October.
The American space agency NASA has been studying asteroids for a long time. Now his eyes are on asteroids in search of priceless gems. In search of which NASA is now preparing for the DSOC mission. It has 100 times the data-return capability of state-of-the-art radio systems in space. Notably, the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) flight transceiver Psyche instrument is housed within the spacecraft’s large tube-like sunshade and is linked to the telescope. If all goes on schedule, NASA’s Psyche mission will begin its journey to the metal-rich asteroid. Astronomers believe that the place where it is being sent is the remains of an ancient protoplanet. The mission of this mission is expected to travel 300 million kilometers. Regarding the technical details of the mission, NASA says that the near-infrared laser light repels radio waves. This is because a laser terminal is thinner and lighter than a radio antenna and since the wavelength of laser light is shorter than that of a radio signal, an optical beam can transmit more information. A camera attached to a 22-centimeter aperture telescope will be able to perform the calculations, which will be in contact with the Palomar Observatory in San Diego.
Astronomers say that the increasing scarcity of natural resources on Earth has forced them to look towards space. It is possible that in future man will supply many things from space. NASA has taken a step forward in this direction, which is going to strengthen the foundation of the future. The coming generations will have to take this task to its end.
