Audi 2019 moon mission and 4g network

[Steve Q]

As the title says, Audi is teaming up with Nokia and Vodafone to create a 4g network on the moon. Nokia is providing the hardware, vodafone are bringing there networking expertise and Audi are going to provide 2 moon rovers which use the 4g to communicate and stream HD videos of the lunar surface.There will also be a base station with a landing and navigation module for the rovers. 

The rover will be called the Audi lunar quattro and will be fully electric, have 6 wheels and all wheel drive. Audi's aim is to win Google's $20million lunar xprize. 

The mission is said to start as early as next year with the hardware being sent to the moon via a space x falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.

This will be the first wireless network on any other planet/moon and Audi's rover will be the first to transverse the moon since the original moon missions. So let's watch this space!
