Abstract :
We present advanced technology developments in space networking achieved under the Interplanetary Network Directorate Information Technology Program. Progress has been made in three primary areas: (1) distributed on-board scheduling as it applies to communications; (2) middleware services; and (3) communications protocols. Demonstrations of these capabilities have been provided using a simulation environment capable of providing a realistic representation of the underlying space communications network environment
