Nokia exited the phone market long ago, but the Finnish company remains a leader in telecommunications infrastructure technology.
It has been and continues to be at the forefront of mobile network innovation, so it’s no surprise that it will soon become the first company to deploy a 4G network on the Moon.
It is announced that as part of the Intuitive Machines-2 (IM-2) mission to the lunar south pole, Nokia will deploy the first mobile network on Earth’s satellite, which will help lay the foundation for future space exploration and crewed missions.
A few days ago, the Intuitive Machines Athena spacecraft, carrying Nokia’s lunar network, lifted off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, they write. foreign media, the Telegraph reports.
About a week after launch, Athena is expected to enter low lunar orbit, and after completing multiple revolutions around the Moon, Athena will eventually land and the IM-2 mission will begin.
While the equipment that Nokia plans to deploy on the Moon is a 4G/LTE network that is specifically designed for the unique requirements of a lunar mission.
Its main purpose is to connect Athena to two vehicles on the lunar surface, a MAPP rover and a Micro Nova Hopper drone.
Immediately after landing on the Moon, Nokia will activate the LSCS.
The Finnish company will use Intuitive Machine’s direct connection to Earth for remote monitoring software and then power the “network in a box” (NIB) integrated into Athena.
After all checks, the NIB will establish a direct cellular connection to the instrument module on the MAPP rover, which will still be on Athena.
According to Nokia, this will be the first mobile call on the Moon.
Next, the NIB will connect to the second lunar vehicle, the Micro Nova Hopper.
As the MAPP and Hopper rover explore the lunar surface, Nokia will monitor and evaluate the network performance and make necessary adjustments.
It is reported that all the data collected will be used by Nokia to improve the design and deployment of the network for future missions.
Otherwise, in addition to its main mission, the goal for Nokia’s Lunar Surface Communication System (LSCS) is to demonstrate that mobile technology can be used for communications on future space missions, so here’s hoping everything goes according to plan. /Telegraph/
