With the development of wireless communication technology and Ethernet, more and more spacecrafts adopt spaceground integration network to realize high-rate data transmission. According to the new requirements of the application of the network system on the multi-module spacecraft, a design method of the network system is proposed, which can provide the network service stably in multiple mission modes such as single-module flight and multi-module flight, and does not need to change the network configuration of the network terminals when the network topology is switched, which is convenient for users on orbit. The proposed method has been applied to the space station and achieved good results.
