NASA admitted that Earth received a message from an extraterrestrial being. The signal came from a distance of more than 10 million kilometers from space, about forty times the distance between the Moon and Earth. Many people might immediately think of aliens, but the laser signal came from a space probe previously sent by NASA. The device is called Psyche, and thanks to a special system, it can send a signal from this distance in certain cases.
According to NASA, this time the spacecraft is likely to be very close to a metal-rich asteroid located between the Sun, Mars and Jupiter, whose atmosphere is currently being studied. The purpose of the expedition is to find something that can be used to “build the future.” Here they are thinking, for example, about the production of spacecraft, and they are thinking about Psyche communications, and how they can improve it in order to communicate with a spacecraft with a high data content. Or maybe to learn how to send a high-quality message or video even from such a distance. And finally: sending a man to Mars.
According to Psyche project manager Meera Srinivasan, the signal was received from the spacecraft on April 8, at 10-minute intervals. According to him, this is a major achievement, because it shows that the ideal solution for optimal communication in space is radio frequency on spaceships, he writes. Unilad.
