The development and infusion of Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) is a collaborative effort. Work conducted at these institutions includes protocol refinement, software development, prototyping, and operational use.

  • NASA’s Glenn Research Center
  • NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center
  • NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
  • Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
  • NASA’s Johnson Space Center
  • NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center
  • The MITRE Corporation
  • NASA Headquarters

NASA also collaborates with external entities such as the InterPlanetary Networking Special Interest Group (IPNSIG) which has been working for over 20 years to expand the internet into space. IPNSIG works to promote the development, maturity, and adoption of DTN for both interplanetary and terrestrial use. Watch the video below to hear more from the IPNSIG during the January 2022 Bi-Annual DTN Face-to-Face Meeting.

Industry Day Video Recordings

DTN Industry Day September 2022

NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program is interested in exploring commercial Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) capabilities and learning about commercial providers interested in collaborating with NASA. In September 2022, SCaN hosted a DTN Industry Day to provide the commercial aerospace community with an opportunity to engage with NASA and other industry members on technologies, standards, and mechanisms impacting the current and future DTN landscape.
