It will cooperate with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the most famous telecommunications company Nokia SpaceX To launch a missile carrying 4G satellite network. If they achieve this, this great step will allow the planet to be inhabited.
A SpaceX mission will provide Internet to the white satellite this year. Lunar landing module It will be installed in Antarctica From the moon and It will be controlled from the ground. However, it is not yet known exactly what the take-off date will be.
Walt Englund Subordinate NASA's Space Technology Mission DirectorateHe explained that the main challenge facing the network in its work is to have Eligible cellular deviceWith a certain weight and size and also enough power to use.

Moreover, the expert noted that the device should be Suitable for operation in the hostile lunar environmentDue to extreme temperatures and radiation.
The 4G communication module will allow the search for frozen water on the satellite, carried out by the Micro-Nova Hopper robot, to be transmitted from space. This technology will be key to Humanity will set foot on lunar Earth again in 2026As NASA expects.

“The ability to communicate on the moon is essential for Artemis.”Engelund stressed that the fourth generation technology on the satellite is no less important than water to drink and air to breathe.
Engelund said creating a lunar communications network could help explorers transmit scientific data instantly or immediately Speak with their families more fluentlyjust like ground technologies like WhatsApp.
