The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop tools and models to guide the design of applications and network algorithms for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. The 3-year project aims to improve understanding of the unique properties and variability of LEO satellite networks, and leverage this knowledge to enhance network protocols and mitigate the impact of variability on application performance. The research will be validated using a distributed, programmable testbed and crowdsourced measurements. The project also includes an educational component to expose students to sustainability concerns in digital infrastructure development, with course materials made widely available online.
