NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program is interested in exploring commercial Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) capabilities and learning about commercial providers interested in collaborating with NASA. In September 2022, SCaN hosted a DTN Industry Day to provide the commercial aerospace community with an opportunity to engage with NASA and other industry members on technologies, standards, and mechanisms impacting the current and future DTN landscape.
