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 MAPP will be sent back to the 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 the Moon’s surface. During its multiday mission, the rover will autonomously map the lunar surface, collect stereo imagery and thermal data, and inspect 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 the Nova-C lander via Nokia’s 4G/LTE network and then relayed back to Earth. Source: Intuitive Machi
