NASA has successfully tested a new laser communication system. They sent data to and received data from the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer using the system. The unit on-board the spacecraft is called the Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration.

They were able to achieve speeds of 622 Mbps!
