Laser communication and data exchange between satellites is beginning to prove its worth. Developed by the American company SpaceX, this technology is expected to become increasingly widespread.

SpaceX is planning to market its laser link technology, which enables satellites to communicate with each other and share data at lightning speed. The idea is for other companies to benefit from this technology, to guarantee fast, reliable communication between their various satellites.
