Architecture and Governance
Working Group
Toward a common Interplanetary Network that is interoperable, scalable, and secure to support human and robotic exploration and commercialization in space
Our Mission
Our mission is to seek and facilitate governance structures and instruments to promote the development of a common Interplanetary Networking architecture by taking into account the lessons from the Internet.
Solar System Internet Architecture and Governance Report​
This report examines the governance properties and structures necessary to form a common and shared space network, along with the key technologies that will drive this endeavor. We suggest the adoption of the Bundle Protocol (BP) suite, built on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) architecture concepts, as an enabling communication technology to promote interplanetary networking, in addition to the use of IPv6-based internets on other celestial bodies.
