MIT Lincoln Laboratory's laser system streamed HD video from Artemis II mission

MIT Lincoln Laboratory, working with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, built the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), which used infrared laser light instead of radio waves to send data from the spacecraft.
