The experiment, called Disruption Tolerant Networking protocol (DTN), allowed an astronaut aboard the ISS to control a small LEGO robot in German soil. <\/p>\n<p>This experiment opens the possibility of using new communications infrastructure to receive images and data from a robot on another planet\u2019s surface using satellites as relay stations between the robot and Earth. Additionally, scientists are thinking about the possibility of having astronauts orbit around a planet like Mars, controlling the robot from the spacecraft, opening new possibilities for exploring the planet. <\/p>\n<p>DTN\u2019s core is the Bundle Protocol (BP), similar to the Internet Protocol (IP). The main difference is that IP requires a seamless data path from end to end, while BP accounts for disconnections, glitches and errors, common in deep-space communications.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" align=\"absMiddle\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/Assets\/Image\/FullStoryArrow.png\">&nbsp;Full story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tags: European Space Agency, NASA, Space Communications, Internet Protocol Publication Date: 11\/09\/2012 Meteron Operations and Communications Prototype (Mocup) test robot in ESA\u2019s European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany, successfully controlled from the ISS.
