Nokia on the moon

 NASA has awarded a $14 million contract to Nokia to put a 4G cellular network on the moon. It's part of the overall plan to first send people to the moon by 2024, and then to establish a lunar base by 2028. They'll need to communicate with each other.


As the first LTE/4G communications system in space, it will also support wireless operation of lunar rovers and streaming video. The network will be designed for extreme temperatures, radiation, and vacuum conditions.
