Forging connections in space with cellular technology

The sign noise caused the Laziric height scale and issues with the visual sensors on the intuitive machines that ATHENA ends with it, leaving a planned cellular call – creating a wireless link between the phase, dreamers, and doors on the plane – not achieved. But for the engineering team behind the innovation, the task has achieved great goals in promoting the level of preparation for cellular technology and painful years of work.

“From the point of view of the network, we have achieved some major goals,” says Dr. Terry Klein, President of the Bells Solutions Research in Nokia. “We have built a network that survived and landed. They survived the crossing to the moon. This is not easy because we took commercial technologies and built this beak in order to survive from the mechanical pressures for the firing of the missiles, and pass the Van Allen radiation belts, then get to know the Sufis.

This represents a great leap forward in creating a cellular network that is scheduled to be effective for the success of the expected space economy with millions of dollars.

There may be astronauts who live and work in permanent habitats; Fleats of automatic vehicles roaming in pits and asteroid rocks; Research teams that conduct scientific experiments and the manufacture of advanced materials; Industrial drilling and mining teams for resources, and the establishment of sensor networks designed to operate local economic activities. There can be even railways that transport goods, energy generators and minerals that are harvested from lunar soil.

In fact, the entire space economy is expected to reach 1.8 trillion dollars by 2035. Although lunar activities are only a small part of this, it will only be sustainable with a modern cellular communication network designed to bear the cruelty of the area.

To date, radio connections, which require a clear line between the antennas and the use of high -frequency radio devices, have been relied on, for example, for example, astronauts on the moon or the moon’s attacker with the Earth. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin ascended to the moon in 1969, they used a radio system called S-Pand, which used a light umbrella antenna on the moon’s ground to reflect the signals at a wide distance. But with more devices soon to fill the moon’s surface, the most dense applications in the frequency range and the sensitive cumin, these technologies will decrease.

As Klein is determined, there are multiple scenarios in which cellular connection that provides a better range, more devices, and the higher data transmission speeds will form the basis for safe and effective exploration. On the one hand, the work of astronauts must be increased through countless robotic and robotic systems – whether in drilling, mining or harvest for food – and each of these will need coordination and communication with each other to align the tasks.

The task control teams will also need to use a surface network for astronauts to collect data that can then be sent to Earth to ensure the integrity of an increasing number of astronauts-for example, analyzing biometric data in actual time or tracking their location on the moon to determine the risks. The availability of audio and visual extracts in the actual time on the surface of the moon will enable those same teams to access the data and video that will direct astronauts, and the flow of areas of scientific attention or supervision of tasks from a vast distance.

“All we want to do, from scientific exploration along the way to creating a constantly firm presence on the moon’s surface with the operational moon’s economy, all of this requires advanced communication capabilities, whether its voice, video, data, remote data, vital data or scientific data.”
