Broadband Connection on Moon is a Reality Now
Submitted by Brenda McGregor on Tue, 06/03/2014 - 08:09
Yes, it is true that broadband connection on the moon is possible. Researchers from NASA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) established a wireless internet signal across the 238,900 miles of space with the help of laser beams.
Another interesting unveiling is the broadband connection to the moon has exhibited faster download speed than being offered in the average British home. NASA and MIT researchers said they have successfully completed the mission of the Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD).
With an aim to test the probable possibilities of broadband through laser to transfer information through the 384,633 kilometers distance separating the moon and earth, the LLCD was designed that lasted for a month.
Researchers shared they were able to download data from the moon at a speed of 622 megabits per second. Uploading data speed was slower at 19.44 megabits per second, but with this speed, it is possible to transmit high definition videos.
Four separate telescopes were used from a ground terminal in New Mexico and they transmitted the signal to the moon. Researchers did face problems, including turbulence, in the air. Therefore, each of the four telescopes
sent their signal through different paths, meaning all the four telescopes witnessed different bending effects from the atmosphere. But with this, chances of getting connectivity with the receiver connected to a satellite also increase.
NASA and MIT team will present their findings at the CLEO laser technology conference to be held in California on June 9.

So, does the PDF have a "moon" location flag??
