IPN
Key components
Ground-Based Infrastructure to sent and receive data from IPN. For
example, NASA Deep Space network. It contains sites around the world for approximately 120 degrees in longitude apart to make sure the constant and flow communications.
Communication Satellites and routers. They can increase the
bandwidth and reduce latency since more advanced communication technology is used. For example, NASA uses infrared light in the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD), which has significant high frequency than traditional radio frequencies, according to electromagnetic spectrum.
Protocols: IPN relied on many specialised types of protocols designed to
handle the complex and completely different situations in space. For example, Space Packet Protocol (SPP), which breaking data into standard packet format in order to transmit data over communication satellites and routers.
Conclusion
Overall, through the use of advanced ground- based structure,
communication satellites and routers as well as protocols, the IPN ensures accurate, efficient and reliable data transmission.
For civilization to endure, Musk said, it must become multi-planetary. The
future of Interplanetary network is intertwined with the broader ambitions of space exploration. In the next few decades, accurate, high-speed and reliable space communication system will crucially become the fundamentals to support human exploration of the broader space. Learning Journey
Throughout our learning journey, we have gone through many useful
websites including the official websites of NASA and the developers of SSP as well as academic reports. They provide detailed and deep insight into the motivations and design of IPN.
