NASA's Moon WiFi: Solstar to Build Network for Future Missions and Economy
NASA has contracted Solstar Space to build a WiFi network on the Moon, supporting future lunar missions and a potential economy. This innovative project will enable seamless communication among various lunar components.
Solstar, known for sending the first commercial tweet from space in 2018, will design a robust WiFi access point to withstand harsh lunar conditions. This network will facilitate communication among landers, rovers, spacesuits, sensors, astronauts' tablets, and scientific experiments, supporting NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) and Artemis missions.
The company plans to demonstrate the first commercial WiFi hotspot in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in 2026. For the Moon, Solstar will create two versions of the WiFi access point: one for short missions and another for extended stays, catering to different mission durations.
Solstar's lunar WiFi network will be a game-changer, enabling efficient communication and data transfer on the Moon. This technology will pave the way for a sustainable lunar economy and support NASA's ambitious Artemis program.
