Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Streaming and texting on the Moon: Nokia and NASA are taking 4G into
space
It seems that the Moon is being projected to be colonized in the near
future. NASA, the US space agency, was directed to work with other agencies to
develop a lunar-based time system (Vol.4373). If that is the case, it is essential to set up
a communication system on the Moon to collect and analyze data, share
information, and sustain operations. For deployment of such infrastructure 384,000
kilometers away from the Earth, it is advantageous to have compact, low-footprint
network equipment that can be transported and deployed easily. So, NASA and
Nokia, a Finnish telecom and IT company are now working together on setting up
a cellular network on the Moon. Once such a lunar communication network is established,
data communication, mission control, and even personal interactions via cell
phones can be made as easily and swiftly as being on the mother planet. Will
Amazon have a delivery service to the Moon then?
Read the article and learn about the future communication system on the
Moon.
