A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 1 coverage to the moon in 2019. If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever 2 . The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and earth. The network is part of a mission to the moon. This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon. The 4G mission is 3 to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019. Mission to the moon intends to 4 and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon. The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases. This means that a 5G network may not yet be 5 enough to work on the moon's surface.
