Nokia: Connecting Astronauts

RTE reports that Nokia have been selected to build the first mobile network on the Moon. Not sure if your roaming package covers that one yet.

The lunar network will be part of the US space agency’s efforts to return humans to the moon by 2024 and build long-term settlements there under its Artemis programme. 

Nokia said the first wireless broadband communications system in space would be built on the lunar surface in late 2022, before humans make it back there. 

Of course, it had to be Nokia. Who else could build a phone network that will survive the harsh lunar environment? 😉
