Nokia secures $14.1m NASA funding to roll out 4G on the Moon
Nokia has won the contract to bring a 4G network to the surface of the Moon, allowing astronauts to communicate more easily with each other.
Nokia is teaming up with NASA to ensure that the new wave of lunar astronauts will be able to post their experience to their Instagram account if they so desire. The Finnish telecoms company will receive $14.1m funding from the US space agency to build a 4G cellphone network on the moon. The announcement comes as part of a $370m slew of contracts issued yesterday, as NASA pushes toward a return to the Moon in 2024 - with the first crew of the Artemis missions expected to include at least one woman.
