Abstract
In this contribution, we address a specific question in the context of a low-cost communication network rendering possible interaction with outposts and sensors on the far side of the moon. The underlying approach brings together low-lunar orbit satellites with Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocols. In this application context we have addressed the question if there is a huge negative impact on the end-to-end delays if the communication within the network is completely tracked by mission control on Earth using a dedicated routing approach. The introduced approach is discussed with reference to a concrete case study. In the course of our analysis, an evaluation of the end-to-end delays is conducted using further routing strategies for comparison purposes. Taking some restrictions into account, the overall feasibility of the proposed tracking approach is shown.
