> Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have verified a two-way laser communications link between Earth and the moon after more than a year of in-orbit testing. The system covered over 400,000 kilometers and reached 1.25 Mbps uplink and 100 Mbps downlink speeds, offering a potential high-speed route for data from future lunar missions.
