The performance period for the 5G Network-in-a-Box Development and Lab Demonstration runs from Thursday, Oct. 1, through Jan. 31, 2028. The performance period for the Lunar 5G and Wi-Fi Integrated Surface Network and Flight Demonstration on the Lunar Surface runs from Monday, Nov. 30, through Dec. 31, 2028.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through these demonstrations, NASA will acquire technology development of hardware, firmware, and software needed to advance the integrated lunar communications system. This effort will give NASA insight into the system architecture and operational performance while providing the flexibility needed to evolve the technology for future lunar surface communications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about NASA and agency programs, visit:<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a
