Expect more lunatics online

Before humanity gets its act together and goes to the Moon in 2024, NASA will have built an internet system to ensure astronauts have a good connection.

Current planning is to have humanity return to the lunar surface in 2024 as part of the Artemis programme. But, according to the Auto Evolution site: “However, before NASA begins shuttling people to our natural satellite, it has to build a network there that will go beyond Earth’s low orbit and connect space to Earth in a sort of Internet connection.”

The network will be called LunaNet, and astronauts will be able to use the LunaNet via numerous nodes and communicate with the crew on and around the Moon in the same way we use Wi-Fi on Earth.

In addition, missions using the network will have access to position and time signals, allowing astronauts and rovers to navigate the rugged lunar terrain and return to their base.
