There is no Internet!
Today is the birthday of the daughter of one of our astronauts. She wants to send a gift to
her
daughter. She can order online. But the internet is not used here.
Some infrastructure work is
being done to solve this problem. Which one is not one of these
studies?
LCRD
The mission will use lasers to encode and transmit data at rates 10 to 100 times better than
radio systems, using significantly less mass and power. The wavelength of the laser light is
orders of magnitude shorter than radio waves, meaning the energy is not spread out as much
as it travels through space.
-Advantage(vs RF):
● The amount of data sent is higher.
● It needs less power when sending data at the same rate as RF
● Satellites that used for data transmission have smaller size and smaller mass than
satellites that used in radio waves.
-Disadvantages:
● Data transmission does not occur in cloudy and stormy weather.
DTN
Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) is NASA’s solution to reliable internetworking for
space missions.
DTN provides assured delivery of data using automatic store-and-forward mechanisms.
Each data packet that is received is forwarded immediately if possible, but stored for future
transmission if forwarding is not currently possible but is expected to be possible in the future.
Advantage:
● DTN enables more reliable and efficient data transmissions resulting in more usable
bandwidth. DTN also improves link reliability by having multiple network paths and
assets for potential communication hops.
The DTN protocol suite allows for many priority levels to be set for different data types,
ensuring that the most important data is received ahead of less important data.
Disadvantages
● Data transmission time becomes longer
Satellite should be added
● By using this system, communication between astronauts who have a long
distance between them is
provided through satellites. The signals from the
radio of the first astronauts are transmitted to
the satellite.
Then they are transmitted from the satellite to the second astronaut.
Radio Waves(Wi-Fi)
Wireless network ports actually work the same as the router modems we know and are systems
that
generate small radio waves.
Connection is performed at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio frequency,
depending on the IEEE 802.11
protocol, which is supported jointly by the wireless access points and the device.
The data is
sent and received in accordance with the CSMA / CA
(Carrier sense multiple access with collision
avoidance) protocol, thus solving
the problem of error during the transmission of packets.
