Preparing for the First Mobile Networks on The Moon | NASA Space Technology
Developed with funding from the NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) Tipping Point opportunity, Nokia's Lunar Surface Communication System (LSCS) will demonstrate cellular-based communications on the lunar surface.
Launching to the Moon aboard the Intuitive Machines 2 (IM-2) mission no earlier than February 26, 2025, the system will demonstrate proximity communications between the IM Nova-C lander, a Lunar Outpost Rover (the Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform or MAPP), and the Micro-Nova Hopper. The LSCS utilizes the same 4G/LTE cellular technology used by billions of devices on Earth and aims to revolutionize lunar surface communications.
Through the Tipping Point initiative, STMD works with private companies to speed up the development of technologies that could support government and commercial missions. By partnering with industry, NASA is initiating innovative solutions that boost the space economy and allow for more frequent and more cost-effective missions.
