What if we could unleash the potential of Internet Technology beyond Earth?
Using the Internet Protocol Suite to create a network in deep space.
Compared to Earth Internet, space communication and networking is very challenging as it involves very long delays like 10 to 40 minutes round-trip time from Earth to Mars and interruptions of communications, from minutes to hours to days, because of orbital dynamics. The Internet Protocol suite can not be used as is. However, we were able to profile and adapt it to make it work in deep space, enabling a seamless network from Earth to Moon to Mars to deep space. The reuse of these current technologies vastly lower the costs for space missions.
