Abstract :
As the space communications infrastructure of the near future is yet to be standardized, many protocols have been proposed to cope with issues such as long propagation delays, high packet error rates and intermittent connectivity. In that context, we have designed a testbed, which incorporates space conditions, mission scenarios and space communication requirements, rendering the extensive evaluation and design of space protocols feasible and efficient.
