Switching and Routing Advanced Technology Study Task with Space Systems/Loral
The Digital Communications Technology Branch (DCTB) of NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) has an ongoing program to develop highly reliable and efficient satellite onboard processing technology. The rapidly growing satellite communications industry has charged NASA LeRC to investigate technologies that could result in a factor of 100x increase in capacity over existing onboard systems. These technology areas encompass switching and routing schemes necessary to achieve the greater than 100 Gbps throughput to accommodate various traffic services including ATM, B-ISDN, and SONET. To achieve full interoperability with terrestrial systems, future generations of onboard processing satellites will require low power and mass components that will enable transmission of these high speed traffic services and protocols.

In response to this industry charge for technology advancement, the DCTB is currently funding a study task with Space Systems/Loral entitled, "On-board Switching and Routing Advanced Technology Study." The study task was initiated under contract NAS3-27559, "Defining Satellite Systems Concepts", and is expected to be a five month effort.

The objective of this study task focuses attention on switching and routing technologies including current technology barriers, industry trends, and innovative concepts with the goal of increasing current satellite traffic capacities by a factor of 100 while being cost competitive with terrestrial systems
