InterPlaNet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
InterPlaNet (IPN) 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 is planned by 2008.[1]
InterPlaNet was intended for use in the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter satellite, which was scheduled for launch in 2009 but was cancelled in 2005.
