Using the Moon to solve an earthly problem 🌕 

Digital inequality is a socioeconomic concern across the United States. In Cleveland, home of NASAGlenn Research Center, a study by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance found that about 31% of the city’s households have no broadband access. 

NASA’s Compass Lab applied lunar network approaches to address technical challenges to Wi-Fi connectivity in the local community. Their study found that attaching Wi-Fi routers to approximately 20,000 lampposts or other utility poles would help solve Cleveland’s connectivity issues. Building on the effort, Cuyahoga County released a request for proposals asking companies for affordable internet access solutions throughout the county. 

Lunar surface exploration will require high-rate communications between astronauts and various elements like landers, rovers, and more. The team hopes the Wi-Fi study will help inform future #Artemis plans.

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) captured this night view of Cleveland from an altitude of approximately 240 miles (386 km).
