WASHINGTON-- NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) successfully have utilized an experimental variation of interplanetary Internet to control an educational rover from the International Space Station. The experiment utilized NASA's Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) process to transmit messages and demonstrate innovation that one day may make it possible for Internet-like communications with space vehicles and support habitats or infrastructure on yet another world. Space station Expedition 33 leader Sunita Williams in late October utilized a NASA-developed laptop to from another location drive a small LEGO robotic at the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. The European-led experiment utilized NASA's DTN to imitate a circumstance in which a rocketeer in a vehicle orbiting a planetary body manages a robot rover in the world 's area.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

NASA Offers Opportunity to Use Communication Testbed

Excerpt:

View large image Want to be a part of International Space Station research? Here's your chance. NASA is offering opportunities for academia, industry and government agencies to develop and carry out research and technology demonstrations on the space station using the newly installed Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Testbed. These opportunities will allow researchers to develop new software according to the Space Telecommunications Radio Standard, or STRS, architecture for radios and reconfigure how radios communicate in space. The SCaN Testbed is a communications, navigation and networking demonstration platform based on the STRS. The experimental platform began its initial checkout activities on the space station Aug. 13, and will operate for at least three years. Experiment developers will provide software components to the STRS repository and enable future hardware platforms to use common reusable software modules.

"This flexible testbed will allow researchers to develop new software according to the STRS architecture for the radios and reconfigure how the radios communicate on-orbit, to explore new concepts for future missions. Once proven, this new capability will enable greater science return from future NASA missions."
