Contributions wanted: Recent advances in interplanetary communication systems
Mauro De Sanctis, Giuseppe Araniti, Igor Bisio, Rubai Wang · IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine · 2010
The information content of scientific data coming from remote planets explorations is very high and is still not fully exploited by the scientific and public communities. A large distribution of such data to scientists not directly involved in a space mission project is a relevant objective worthy of interest. This evolution requires an increase in returned data volumes and higher data rates, envisaging the need of complex Interplanetary communications architectures and technologies.
