Several high-tech companies are teaming up on a plan to put a mobile phone network on the moon next year.
几家高科技公司正为明年在月球上搭建手机通讯网络而通力合作。
Vodaphone Germany, Nokia, and Audi are working on a mobile network and robotic vehicles that are part of a private expedition to the moon, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary year of the first manned lunar landing.
德国沃达丰、诺基亚以及奥迪公司正在研发一套手机通讯网络和自动化探测器，这些是向月球发起的私人探险的一部分，该探险刚好赶上人类首次登月任务的第50个周年庆。
The project with PTScientists in Germany would use a 4G network to send high-definition information from rovers back to a lunar lander, which would then be able to communicate it back to Earth.
这项由德国PTScientists参与的项目，将使用4G网络，将来自月球探测车的高分辨率信息发送至月球着陆器，而后着陆器就能够与地球进行通讯。
Project scientists say the system uses less energy than having rovers speak directly to Earth, leaving more power for scientific activities.
项目中的科学家们表示，相比于让探测器直接和地球通讯，该系统消耗的能量更少，从而可以为科学研究活动保留更多能源。
They plan to launch the vehicles from Cape Canaveral next year on a Space X Falcon 9 rocket.
他们计划于明年将搭载该探测器的SpaceX猎鹰9号火箭从卡纳拉维尔角发射升空。
