About

Spacecraft networks is a research field concerned with the principles, design, analysis, and operation of systems comprising multiple interconnected spacecraft. This academic concept investigates the unique challenges of establishing reliable communication, coordination, and data management among distributed space assets, considering factors such as dynamic topology, intermittent connectivity, significant communication delays, and resource constraints, to enable complex missions like formation flying, distributed sensing, and interplanetary communication relays.
