So, we believe that there is no mission that can go to space without advanced communication capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nokia\u2019s main ambition, says Klein, is to \u201cpush the boundaries of technology\u201d by utilising the capability of everyday technologies to support space missions. <\/p>\n<p>Also speaking to <em>MWL<\/em> about the vendor&#8217;s plans, Ian Fogg, director of network innovation at CCS Insight, explained LTE\/4G is a mature, well-tested technology with proven reliability and more robust network management compared to 5G, making it a sound choice for a Moon deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Maturity is indeed particularly useful in demanding extraterrestrial conditions. Klein explained Nokia\u2019s lunar mobile network was optimised to withstand extreme environments, from shock and vibrations at launch and landing to extreme lunar temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the LSCS is designed to be compact and durable, with size, weight, and power optimisation being critical factors. \u201cIt&#8217;s a massively integrated, compact network &#8211; about the size of a small pizza box &#8211; and has all cellular network functionalities integrated,\u201d Klein stated. <\/p>\n<p>The system was also engineered to operate autonomously aboard the uncrewed IM-2 mission. \u201cWe built the software reliability framework to make sure the network is self-functioning. Even if you think of future crewed missions with astronauts, you don&#8217;t want them to be network technicians,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Closer to home<\/strong><br \/>As Nokia shoots for the Moon in vying to establish a first lunar LTE network, the stakes are high for the vendor to prove its technology\u2019s reliability in a challenging environment given the high costs and risks associated with space operations. <\/p>\n<p>While Fogg judged Nokia\u2019s role in this project to be relatively low risk considering failures are often tied to rockets or other systems unrelated to connectivity, the deployment could still carry significant strategic value in the form of \u201cmarketing benefits\u201d. By demonstrating its technological capabilities, Nokia can use the project as a \u201chalo case study for their terrestrial private network business\u201d to prove it can withstand challenging deployments on Earth, he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Klein also highlighted that on Earth, high-risk industries like mining, defence, oil rigs, and remote infrastructure could benefit from the company\u2019s LSCS network. The technology\u2019s autonomous capabilities and compact, energy-efficient design could potentially streamline enterprise operations and boost public safety in high-risk earthbound applications. \u201cIf we can solve these challenges for space, the solutions will be beneficial for terrestrial networks as well,\u201d Klein added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mission Mars?<\/strong><br \/>NASA intends to use these lunar advancements in its Artemis programme, which seeks to establish sustainable lunar operations by the end of the decade as a precursor to Mars exploration. The same network used on the Moon &#8220;could be applicable to Mars\u201d, Klein explained.<\/p>\n<p>While latency issues between Earth and Mars would require adaptations to the network architecture, \u201ca lot of lessons learned on lunar deployments will be applicable to Martian deployment\u201d, Klein affirmed. He envisions a future where astronauts and payloads connect to permanent lunar networks, much like roaming services on Earth. \u201cUltimately, you could imagine that there might be a lunar service provider,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>As more private companies and nations plan lunar missions, including Amazon\u2019s Blue Origin and Musk\u2019s SpaceX, Nokia could position itself as a preferred provider of communication infrastructure in space. Considering this ambition, Fogg underscored that if multiple networks are deployed on the Moon, \u201cthere will need to be coordination of wireless spectrum usage just as there is on earth\u201d. Nokia\u2019s early involvement in lunar connectivity could shape its future influence in this new regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is for certain. As the IM-2 lander prepares for launch, Nokia\u2019s lunar mission offers a glimpse into the converging future of telecoms and space exploration and a potential catalyst for terrestrial innovations.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/network-tech\/analysis-nokia-moon-landing-aims-to-shake-up-space-tech\/\">Analysis: Nokia Moon landing aims to shake-up
