TATERS THE CAT

NASA's big experiment: This cat video streamed 19 million miles from deep space

NASA achieved a remarkable milestone by beaming a cat video from deep space, covering an astounding distance of 19 million miles. This achievement was part of a comprehensive test for the Deep Space Network (DSN) and showcased the effectiveness of Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) in facilitating communication with spacecraft in distant cosmic territories. The selection of a cat video, starring Taters the cat, exemplified NASA's innovative and relatable approach to testing communication technologies in the vast expanse of space.
