Nokia announced it is sending a 4G internet service to the Moon during an upcoming space mission. Nokia, working alongside Lunar Outpost and Intuitive Machines, created the 4G technology, which is designed to withstand the harsh conditions in space. The tech demonstration could set the stage for use during future crewed Artemis missions to the Moon. The network will be critical for “any sustained human presence on the Moon and Mars in the future,” Nokia said in a blog post. He said the 4G network “will have a big impact on future crewed missions to the Moon and beyond, and validate that cellular technologies can be adapted for mission-critical space communications needs.
