Talk:Delay Tolerant Networks – Building Interplanetary Internet – WS 08 2022

This is the initial topic list proposed for discussion:

• How to strengthen the collaboration between larger stakeholders (like ESA and EU commission) and SMEs/startups? • Which governance and businesses models are suitable for commercial space services? • How to push open standards and protocols in the space industry in order to assure future interoperability of space deployments? • What is the current status of Inter-Planetary Internet? • The meaning of private property in space in the light of space commercialization? • Who mitigates illegal actions in space environments and what is considered illegal? What jurisdiction adjudicates disputes? What does "national security" mean in space environments? • How to control access to deployed space networks (available to whom)? Should space networks be available to everyone? Issues with security and how to protect other actors in space? How to make space communication infrastructure available for other actors (commercial and scientific)? What kind of application/service standards are available and which are in need of development? • DTN architecture has proved its potential as a robust communication platform for some terrestrial applications. How can terrestrial DTN applications be used to develop DTNs that can be applied in space? Are DTN technologies mature enough to be applied in disaster/war scenarios? • How can we leverage from sharing space communication infrastructures as expansion of space missions requires more bandwidth? • The interoperability of available protocols and DTN software implementations? • What is the potential of citizen-built open-source global networks (like TinyGS project’s ground station network) and cube satellites? • How to manage space waste caused by decommissioned communication satellites? Safety and security of space infrastructure. • Implications of public and private space operations of solar system internet? • What are the current engineering challenges in space communication? • status of interplanetary networking - esp the return to the moon (NASA,ESA, JAXA, ...) • governance questions: private enterprise, jurisdiction for disputeresolution, standards and regulations
