新闻：

News Report One

参考答案：

is stable.

主旨内容：

科学家们想要在月球上安置一个设备

,

这样就是史上第一次在月球上可提供移动信号，

且月球网络将 支持月球和地球之间的高清视频和数据流。

参考原文：

A device that weighs less than 1 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 the 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 Nine 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 4G

rather than the fifth generation or 5G work. 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.

Question 1. What are scientists planning to do?

Question 2. Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission?
