  • Abstract
    Last March, a laser-ranging system on the United States´ East Coast beamed a tiny image of the Mona Lisa to NASA´s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The transmission, which reached the spacecraft while it was in orbit around the moon, was just a trickle of data by Earth standards, topping out at 300 bits per second.
