Program Overview: The objectives of
the IND Technology Program, managed by Stephen Townes
, are to identify, develop, and demonstrate new technologies and innovative approaches to meet the telecommunications, mission
operations, and science needs of present and future IND customers at a minimum end-to-end cost to NASA. The overall IND Technology Program is separated into two major areas, each considering
end-to-end questions. The DSMS technology program, managed by Faramaz Davarian, looks at lower-layer (closer to physical layer) issues, while the
Non-DSMS technology program, managed by Dimitrios Antsos
deals with higher layers (network protocols through applications). Visit this link
for a graphical overview of program. The program is organized into a set of work areas representing core competencies which are critical to achieving cost-effective, state-of-the-art space
mission operations and telecommunications. Visit this link for an overview of the work areas
and a set of one page descriptions of the technology tasks planned in each area.People in the IND Technology
