One step closer to Vint Cerf's dream. :-)
Via The EE Times.
Comsat Laboratories, a division of ViaSat Inc., has won a contract from NASA to design and deliver a Space Communications Testbed (SCT) that emulates the nodes and links comprising an end-to-end inter-planetary communication network.
The contract award for a 12-month Phase 1 development is $3.7 million, of which Comsat Laboratories (Clarksburg, Md.) receives $2.3 million and the remaining $1.4 million is divided among NASA Glenn Research Center, Jet Propulsion Lab/California Institute of Technology, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and NASA Langley Research Center.
