Purpose
The Mars Laser Communication Demonstration was a project to demonstrate optical communications on the 2009 Mars Telecommunications Orbiter. "Lasercom sends information using beams of light and optical elements, such as telescopes and optical amplifiers, rather than RF signals, amplifiers, and antennas"

Results
The program for the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter was scrapped in 2005 and hence also the project
