Abstract:
The Space Internet, also known as the Interplanetary Internet, is a proposed network intended to connect stations on Earth with others in orbit around and on the surface of other planets and moons in the Solar System. This paper reports on a space Internet development and test plans for Korean lunar exploration program. First, Korean lunar program was reviewed. Then Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) characteristics and DTN protocols used in lunar exploration are reviewed. DTN communication architectures are presented. The Korea lunar exploration program is divided into two phases. In first phase, test lunar Orbiter will be launched without Lander or Rover. So, proposed DTN test architecture is based on Lander and Rover located on earth. In second phase, Lander and Rover will be landed on the moon. The DTN architecture and protocol stacks for second phase are also proposed.
