Company to Deploy First 4G Network on the Moon to Support NASA Mission; Nokia (NOK.US) Rises Nearly 6% Before Market Open

On Monday, Nokia (NOK.US) rose nearly 6% before the market opened, trading at $5.08. According to media reports, Nokia will become the first company to deploy a 4G network on the moon. This groundbreaking technology will be applied to the IM-2 mission of Intuitive Machines, a subsidiary of NASA, marking the first time humans will bring the same mobile communication technology to the moon as on Earth. This achievement aligns with the goal of NASA's Artemis program, aiming to achieve sustainable human habitation on the moon.

It is reported that Nokia's 4G LTE network will significantly improve the communication efficiency of future space missions and lay the foundation for interstellar communication, while ensuring the stability of data transmission. The Intuitive Machines Athena lander, carrying the lunar network, was successfully launched on February 26 and is targeting the moon's south pole, with the landing task expected to be completed on March 6, 2025. In addition, the lander has also returned the latest space images, providing real-time updates for the mission.
