NASA's Artemis II mission successfully demonstrated laser communications from lunar orbit, with a low-cost terminal built by Observable Space and Quantum Opus and operated by the Australian National University achieving 260 megabits per second data transmission. The terminal cost under $5 million compared to traditional solutions costing tens of millions, proving high-throughput space-to-Earth links can be done affordably. The success opens possibilities for global networks of receiving terminals.
