Moon will have faster internet than Earth !!!

Soon the internet will be running faster on the moon than on this earth. Researchers from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) working with NASA demonstrated the data communication technology making it possible to receive larger amounts of data and stream video and audio from the earth to moon and vice versa. At 19.44 mbps data was successfully transmitted from earth to moon along with the upload speed of 622 mbps (4800 times faster than the previous record). It a RF based new system and the link was achieved via four separate telescopes based at a ground terminal in New Mexico.

The download speed is more than six times faster than the download speed achieved by the best radio system ever flown to the moon and the NASA’s Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration laser space terminal is half the weight and uses 25% less power than the previous record.The transmitted signal start at 40 watts, but it ends as a “billionth of a watt” signal when it gets to the moon.
“This  will be the first time that we present both the implementation overview and how well it actually worked” said Mark Stevens of MIT” The on-orbit performance was excellent and close to what we’d predicted, giving us confidence that we have good understanding of the underlying physics” he added.
