Satellite Networks & Architectures Branch
|
The Satellite and Networks Architecture Branch
welcomes you. We are a group of diverse professionals knowable in
aeronautic and space-based communications. Our expertise encompasses
network architecture design and analysis, network and protocol simulation,
and protocol research and development.
Please feel free to contact any of the
branch members regarding our research. For additional information
on our programs, technical products, publications, partnerships, SBIR program,
or summer and graduate fellowships, please contact branch secretary who
will direct you to the appropriate source.
Our vision is to be the premier organization
for aeronautic and space-based communication network architectures, simulation,
and protocol research and development. We will achieve this by developing
and obtaining world renowned expertise in aeronautic and space based network
design, simulation and protocol research.
The mission of the Satellite Networks
and Architectures Branch is to perform advanced research and development
of next-generation, aeronautic and space-based information systems to meet
future NASA mission communication needs and to enhance the role of satellite
communications in the National and Global Information
Infrastructure (NII/GII). The Satellite Networks and Architectures
Branch carries out its research through partnerships with other government
agencies, communication industry and academia. We also fulfill our objectives
by carrying out research and development in the following broad categories:
The research performed by the Satellite Networks
and Architectures Branch is presently focused on attaining the following
goals:
-
Establish the TCP/IP protocol suite as the standard
for the vast majority of space-based applications.
-
Fly an commercial router on Shuttle
-
Develop a space qualified router for unmanned science
missions
-
Develop a mobile router for use in space and aeronautic
systems
-
Develop, simulate and analyze communications architectures
to enable a "Free-Flight" aviation environment (see AATT)
-
Develop advanced communications systems to enable
efficient dissemination
-
of aviation weather information (see WINCOMM)
