為了支持長期的太空探索，美國國家航空暨太空總署（NASA）正在徹底改變我們與月球通訊的方式。
To support long-term human exploration, NASA is revolutionizing how we talk to the Moon.
作為「阿提米絲」計畫的一部分，該署正從傳統無線電系統轉向先進的高頻寬技術，這就好比從撥接上網過渡到高速寬頻。
As part of the Artemis program, the agency is shifting from traditional radio systems to advanced high-bandwidth technologies, much like moving from dial-up to high-speed broadband.
一項關鍵的突破是雷射通訊，它利用紅外線束傳輸數據，速度比無線電波快達100倍。
A key breakthrough is laser (optical) communication, which uses infrared beams to transmit data at speeds up to 100 times faster than radio waves.
在「阿提米絲」二號任務期間，O2O系統成功展示了從太空中傳輸高畫質影片。
During the Artemis II mission, the O2O system successfully demonstrated high-definition video streaming from space.
除了速度之外，NASA正在建立「月球網」（LunaNet），這是網際網路的月球版本。
Beyond speed, NASA is building 'LunaNet,' a lunar version of the internet.
利用延遲容忍網路技術，月球網確保了即使訊號暫時受阻，資料流也能保持持續。
Utilizing Delay-Tolerant Networking, LunaNet ensures consistent data flow even if signals are momentarily blocked.
此外，NASA正在測試4G/LTE和5G網路，以支持太空人在太空漫步時的行動力，本質上將太空衣變成了行動通訊設備。
Furthermore, NASA is testing 4G/LTE and 5G networks to support astronaut mobility during spacewalks, essentially turning spacesuits into mobile communication devices.
透過開發這些強大的網路並促進與國際夥伴的互通性，NASA不僅在推動一個永續的月球經濟，也在為未來人類前往火星的任務奠定所需的基礎設施。
By developing these robust networks and fostering interoperability with international partners, NASA is not only enabling a sustainable lunar economy but also creating the foundational infrastructure required for future human missions to Mars.
