Abstract

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has created the Communications, Standards, and Technology Lab (CSTL) for the investigation, development, and demonstration of new communications standards and technologies. The testbed combines elements from the Microwave & Communications Systems Branch lab with the Flight Software Branch lab to form an end-to-end communications scenario. The testbed is currently configured to demonstrate communications, using the Internet Protocol, for the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM).
