InterPlaNet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
InterPlaNet (IPN), not to be confused with InterPlanetary Network, is a computer networking protocol designed to operate at interplanetary distances, where traditional protocols such as the Internet Protocol break down. It has been under development by Vint Cerf and NASA since 1998 and a permanent network link to Mars was planned by 2008[1] until the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter was canceled in 2005. The protocol is expected to be space-qualified and ready for use by around 2010.[2]
