Go LCRD! 🚀 From launch in 2021 to activation in 2022, we’re advancing optical communications technologies with our Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD). Missions like LCRD are using infrared lasers to furnish the Artemis generation with more space data than ever before. What are your goals for the New Year? Share them with the hashtag #LCRDresolutions and we might send them through space over LCRD’s laser links!
