Operating Missions as Nodes on the Internet

OMNI is the first end-to-end demonstration of operating NASA missions as nodes on an IP (Internet Protocol) network utilizing existing technologies. OMNI demonstrates a new approach to mission design and operations and increases understanding of cost savings, benefits, and risks. 

Jan 16, 2003: CANDOS lanuched aboard STS-107! Approximately 2 1/2 hours after launch, the CANDOS processor was powered up and successfully booted. Several successful ground station passes were completed on the first day, using mobile-IP to automatically establish a routing tunnel from the control center at GSFC to the appropriate groundstation. More information, data and pictures can be found in the CANDOS section of this website.
