Webinars

This presentation will describe the use case of deep space networking, the key considerations to deploy such a network, and its requirements. It will also describe the current plans of the space agencies and private sector for Moon and Mars deployments. It will then describe the proposed solution.  This work is being standardized in IETF by the newly formed working group called TIPTOP (Taking IP to Other Planets). A description of the working group, milestones and current work will conclude the presentation.
