原文:
A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019. If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever mobile phone network. 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 set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019. Mission to the moon intends to establish 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 stable enough to work on the moon‘s surface.

科学家们2019年向月球发射第四代移动通讯任务的一部分是一款重量不到一公斤的装置。如果成功,这个微型设备将为月球提供有史以来第一个移动电话网络。月球网络将支持月球和地球之间的高清晰度视频和数据流。该网络是登月任务的一部分。这是一个旨在实现首次私人出资登月任务的项目。这项4G任务将于2019年由space X Falcon 9号火箭从美国卡纳维拉尔角发射。登月任务打算在月球上建立并测试通信网络的第一批元件。从事该项目的科学家选择建设一个4G网络,而不是第五代。这是因为第五代网络仍处于测试和试用阶段。这意味着5G网络可能还不够稳定,无法在月球表面工作。
