During the #IM2 mission, the #4G cell 📱 network will allow for #communication between the lander and the two vehicles. But #Nokia has plans for a more expansive 4G or 5G cell network that can cover the planned #Artemis habitat and its surroundings. The company is also working on integrating cell communications in Axiom #spacesuits meant for future lunar #astronauts 👩‍🚀 https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/18/1111984/nokia-is-putting-the-first-cellular-network-on-the-moon

#Moon 🌙 scouts will all be #robotic, designed to build a foundation for #astronauts 👨‍🚀 to follow about two years later. There is need for transporting 🚀 large masses of equipment and materials from #Earth. An #IntuitiveMachines lander is set to reach the Moon later this year. #NASA’s #JPL will release a “swarm” of robot-explorers equipped with stereo cameras 📹 and charged with creating photorealistic #3D maps 🗺️ of the #lunar terrain https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinholdenplatt/2024/04/27/robot-explorers-futuristic-spacex-starships-set-to-transform-the-moon/

#Astronauts 👨‍🚀 travelling to #Mars would encounter #radiation ☢️ levels higher than humans have ever experienced, and be exposed to them for much longer.

To protect them, the #spacecraft would either have to be much bulkier, making launches expensive and difficult, or be made of more efficient #shielding 🛡️ materials. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missions/how-will-humans-survive-the-journey-to-mars

#Microorganisms 🦠 as #SpaceFood : The demand for food 🍽️ increases greatly when the duration ⏳ of #space endeavors lengthens. It will be essential that edible #microbial biomass also enables the production of #appealing 😋 foods. #3dFoodPrinting 🖨️ technologies make it possible to manufacture more complex food 🍗 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-33974-7

Future #astronauts may be able to recycle ♻️ their #breath into #plant food—and ultimately into fresh vegetables 🥕. Lettuce 🥗 grown on acetate could be a step toward plants that can grow in the dark by thriving on #chemical 🧪 rather than solar ☀️ energy. https://www.science.org/content/article/crops-grown-without-sunlight-could-help-feed-astronauts-bound-mars
