<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>New Delhi: Indian-origin Nishant Batra working as Chief Strategy and Technology<\/a> Officer (CSTO) at smartphone maker Nokia<\/a> is helping NASA<\/a> to build the first ever cellular network on the Moon.

Batra joined Nokia as CSTO and a member of the
Nokia Group Leadership Team<\/a> in January 2021.

He holds an MBA from INSEAD, a master's degree in telecommunications and a master's degree in computer science from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and a bachelor's degree in computer applications from Devi Ahilya University in India.

Prior to joining the telecommunications major, Batra worked at Veoneer in Sweden, as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. He had also spent 12 years at Ericsson holding several positions.

Batra is based in Espoo, Finland, and has lived and worked in Asia, Europe and the US.

At Nokia, Batra's responsibilities include managing technology architecture and pioneering research at
Nokia Bell Labs<\/a> whose

innovations will be used to build and deploy the first ultra-compact, low-power, space-hardened, end-to-end LTE solution on the lunar surface in late 2022.

NASA is looking to regain its presence on the lunar surface with its uncrewed Artemis mission slated for launch in May this year and crewed mission in 2026.

In October last year, the US space agency selected Nokia as a partner to advance \"Tipping Point\" technologies for the Moon, deploying the first LTE\/4G communications system in space and helping pave the way towards sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.

For the mission, Nokia has also partnered with Intuitive Machines to integrate the groundbreaking network into their lunar lander and deliver it to the lunar surface.

The network will provide critical communication capabilities for many different data transmission applications, including vital command and control functions, remote control of lunar rovers, real-time navigation and streaming of high definition video - while containing power, size and cost.

“By leveraging existing network infrastructure, differentiation can further be created through data centre and cloud offerings. Having software-driven networks that use AI\/ML, predictive analytics, and automation allows CSPs (communication service providers) to provide faster, predictable, and secure networks,” Bharti Airtel’s B2B unit said in its report.<\/p><\/div>
