Development of MANET network model for space environment in NS3

Abstract

For detection of possible problems in designing of MANET networks in space conditions new modern development environments like NS3 should be used. During development of complex space missions involving usage of robots, there exists a big risk of failure of such missions, cause previously unexpected problems arise. Operability testing of such systems often costly requires big amounts of time. This article looks into ways of modeling such systems with the purpose of revealing patterns that influence the work of MANET networks in the difficult space environment.
