Abstract :
Deep space missions impose numerous unique constraints that impact the communications architectural choices. We are entering the era where networks that exist in deep space are needed to support planetary exploration. Identification is made of the various distinctive elements that drive the selection of the communications protocol suite. Cost-effective performance will require a balanced integration of applicable widely used standard protocols with new and innovative designs
