Turn the moon into a Wi Fi device

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated the ability to transmit wireless Internet signals with a distance of 238,900 miles, the distance from the earth to the moon.

The study was demonstrated by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To create a broadband internet on the moon, researchers used four telescopes located in New Mexico, to load signals onto an orbiting satellite orbiting the moon. 6-inch telescopes allow sending encrypted information via a laser device.

Because our atmosphere tends to bend signals sent to the moon, four telescopes will send light signals through four different air columns, each affected by one. Different curvature of the atmosphere. It is estimated that at least one laser signal can reach the signal receiver, and create a connection with the moon.

According to the team, when the WiFi network was set up on the moon, users could upload data to the moon at a speed of 19.44mb / s and download at 622mb / s, 4000 times faster. with radio waves.
