An inside look at Nokia’s Moon mission - images

Artist rendering of the Lunar Outpost Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP) rover with Nokia antennas extended. The images, data and telemetry collected by the MAPP rover will be sent back to Athena the Intuitive Machines Nova-C lander, over the Nokia 4G/LTE network and then relayed to Earth. Mission controllers in Colorado will issue commands to the rover over the same connection. Source: Intuitive Machines and Nokia Bell Labs

Artist rendering of the Lunar Outpost Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP) rover exploring and autonomously mapping the lunar surface, collecting stereo imagery and thermal data, and inspecting samples of lunar regolith in a special bin mounted in its wheels. Pictures of those samples, along with imaging, map and telemetry data will be transmitted to Athena, the Intuitive Machines Nova-C lander, via Nokia’s 4G/LTE network and then relayed back to Earth.

Artist rendering of Grace, the Intuitive Machines Micro Nova Hopper, propelling itself over the surface of the Moon. Maintaining a near-constant connection to the Nokia 4G/LTE network, Grace will descend into a lunar crater to search for evidence of lunar water in areas of permanent shadow.
