(8 years ago)Cell phone giants Vodafone and Nokia are preparing to set up a 4G network on the moon in 2019, and this network allows two mobile devices on the surface of our planet's satellite, broadcast video and turn it into a base station on Earth. We sent two ships to [...]
We've sent two ships to the lunar surface and we're collecting lots of scientific data, video HD and photos. The problem is that we cannot send this amount of material directly from ships to Earth, since it requires a lot of energy. So, using the 4G network on the moon, we can bring it to our planet, as there's a lot of energy available to do that. Currently we can make some real-time HHH video from the moon”, says Kate Arkless Gray, PTS scientist.
But can the moon provide 4G coverage before that happens with certain parts of Great Britain?
Look, I'm biased, because I work for a space company, but we have a lot of things that we're using every day on Earth, which first developed to be used in space. For example, the camera on your mobile phone uses a sensor that was originally produced and designed for a space mission. So, you'll never know how many wonderful things we can learn by fulfilling these incredible missions, such as ours on the Moon”, she said further.
