Imagine texting on the Moon or streaming on Mars — it may not be as far-fetched as you think. NASA and Nokia have joined forces to establish a cellular network on the Moon, paving the way for long-term human presence on other planets.
A SpaceX rocket is set to launch this year, carrying a 4G network to the Moon's south pole. The network, developed by Nokia's Bell Labs, will be deployed by a lander from US company Intuitive Machines. This innovative system will connect to roaming vehicles tasked with exploring and searching for ice on the lunar surface.
