  Abstract

Since the Soviet Union launched the first Earth’s satellite, Sputnik I, in 1957, numerous satellites have launched at the Earth orbit. Human being has reached outer space beyond Earth, Moon, Mars, and even the outer solar system by sending orbiters, landers, and rovers. Direct communication between spacecraft and ground stations have dominated as a primary way to talk to space until communication distance was not severely challenged and global cooperation of space exploration between nations and space agencies was not frequently requested. Now, the solar system internetworking era has opened for coping with the challenges in deep space exploration by adapting the delay-/disruption-tolerant networking (DTN) technology. This paper presents the result of the implementation of Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP) as a key protocol preparation of the DTN protocol software suite. Using the LTP in space packet communication provides a suitable solution to remedy disruptions from the harsh space communication environment. As space communication network evolves, this research may contribute as one of the major prerequisites during the construction of the delay-tolerant network in deep space as space assets needs to interconnect to the solar system internetwork in the future.
