IM-2: Task that will receive 4G from Nokia to the Moon departure in late February

According to the Intuitive Machinery Space Research Company, the task, which will bring the first 4G cell network to the Moon, is planned to emerge at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida (United States) at the end of February. Technology Developed by NokiaIt was hired by NASA for the project in 2020.

To promise to increase the data transfer capacity and to eliminate the intervention that prevents radio communication used in space tasks for decades, the network with the same 4G LTE, had almost all components in a box. The Lunar module will be connected to one of Athena’s panels.

This box, which is responsible for providing connection, received protection against radiation, extreme temperatures and vibrations to be exposed during the IM-2 mission version and landing maneuvers. There is only an antenna and energy source.

As Nokia explains, the 4G network will benefit from the antenna of the landing module to perform signal transmission, Providing communication between the devices and sending information to the world’s team. Already the electricity space vehicle required for the operation will come from the solar panels.

4G per month will require changes in the next tasks

At the first output of Nokia’s 4G Moon Network, the connection must be available for just a few days. However, the Finnish giant plans to expand technology in future Artemis missions and attributes the network box to the spatial costumes of astronauts.

However, the company, Possibility of intervention of the runway used by LTE in Radiotlelescopes. It received a special permission at the exit of the service, but permanent distribution will require changes in the selected frequency band.

IM-2 Mission Launch Window It should be opened on February 26thAccording to NASA. The spacecraft will place a communication satellite in the moon orbit and will go to the south pole of the moon where a trave will discover the area.
