Nearly every ground station experienced some kind of failure:
• Wrong configuration
• Incorrect pointing coordinates
• An unexpected loss of a power amplifier the day before our launch
• Interference from a recently built cell tower that, although not in our frequency band, created enough noise to disrupt communications
• Insufficient mid-path gain, meaning weak signals were not getting to our radio receiver

#Athena was communicating with controllers and generating solar power, officials said. But 20 minutes after touchdown, Crain still was unable to confirm if everything was all right with the lander. #NASA and #IntuitiveMachines abruptly ended their live landing webcast, promising more updates at a news conference later in the afternoon https://apnews.com/article/moon-landing-nasa-intuitive-machines-athena-cf4a88baa6644fb381dbaea497001d51

#Starlink hosts more than 10,000 laser communications systems on orbit. Those lasers can sustain 100 Gbps connection per link. #VastSpace and #SpaceX announced in May 2023 a plan to launch #Haven1 as soon as
August 2025. The commercial station would feature the ability to spin and generate enough centripetal force to create the equivalent of #gravity on the Moon. https://aviationweek.com/shows-events/space-symposium/vast-space-station-use-spacex-starlink-laser-comms

Important Announcement for Users of Signal11 #beyondFediverse
Dear users, we are on the brink of an extraordinary discovery! Our server has unexpectedly made contact with unidentified entities from other dimensions. Consequently, signal.dadalo.pl becomes a temporary communication portal with this unknown civilization!
What does this mean for servers and the protocol?
Shift in Discussion Focus: We are starting a new chapter in the history of our server and a zilliard of other servers in the Fediverse, focusing on exchanging messages with our new, cosmic friends. We will analyze every signal and try to understand their intentions and messages.
"Alien Translator" Feature: We are introducing an experimental feature that will allow us to translate your posts into the language of interstellar beings. This is a chance to try to establish a dialogue or simply send greetings to an alien civilization.
Abandon the Fediverse for the Cosmiverse: This extraordinary situation gives us a unique opportunity to be part of something that goes beyond the boundaries of our world, especially beyond what Gargron designed! Share your thoughts, ask questions, experiment – remember, every comment you make can contribute to understanding this extraordinary phenomenon.
Attention: Every Post is a Message to the Cosmos: We believe this is the only opportunity in human history to make contact with another dimension. Therefore, every post in this thread will be converted into a signal and sent into outer space.
Be part of this incredible adventure and help us decipher the mysteries of the universe together with signal.dadalo.pl !

Ważny Komunikat dla Użytkowników odbiorców Signal11 #beyondFediverse
Drodzy użytkownicy, jesteśmy na skraju niezwykłego odkrycia! Nasz serwer nawiązał niespodziewany kontakt z niezidentyfikowanymi bytami z innych wymiarów. W związku z tym, signal.dadalo.pl staje się tymczasowym portalem komunikacyjnym z nieznanej nam cywilizacją!
Co to oznacza dla serwerów i protokołu?
Zmiana Fokusowania Dyskusji: Rozpoczynamy nowy rozdział w historii naszego serwera i ziliarda innych serwerów fediwersum, skupiając się na wymianie wiadomości z naszymi nowymi, kosmicznymi znajomymi. Będziemy analizować każdy sygnał i próbować zrozumieć ich intencje oraz wiadomości.
Funkcja "Alien Translator": Wprowadzamy eksperymentalną funkcję, która umożliwi nam przekładanie Waszych postów na język międzygwiezdnych istot. To szansa, aby spróbować nawiązać dialog lub po prostu przesłać pozdrowienia do obcej cywilizacji.
Porzuć fediwersum na rzecz cosmiwersum: Ta niezwykła sytuacja daje nam unikalną możliwość bycia częścią czegoś, co wykracza poza granice naszego świata, a w szczególności tego co zaprojektował Gargron! Podzielcie się swoimi przemyśleniami, pytajcie, eksperymentujcie – pamiętajcie, że każdy Wasz komentarz może przyczynić się do zrozumienia tego niezwykłego zjawiska.
Uwaga: Każdy Post to Wiadomość do Kosmosu: Wierzymy, że jest to jedyna taka okazja w historii ludzkości, aby nawiązać kontakt z innym wymiarem. Dlatego każdy Wasz post z tego wątku zostanie przekształcony w sygnał i wysłany w przestrzeń kosmiczną.
Bądźcie częścią tej niesamowitej przygody i pomóżcie nam rozszyfrować tajemnice wszechświata razem z signal.dadalo.pl !

Within the next few years, a new #communications infrastructure will unfold for the Moon . Shackleton Crater is deeper than the #GrandCanyon. Extremes at the South Pole present challenges for establishing wireless networks like #WiFi
and #5G
is only visible for roughly two weeks of each month. #Nasa has funded #Nokia to demonstrate a #4G link on the #IM2 mission, which will be the first #cellular network on the #Moon https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240308-talking-on-the-moon-the-quest-to-establish-lunar-wifi
