The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $260,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop methods for measuring and characterizing low earth orbit satellite internet performance on maritime vessels at sea. The project funds three research aims. First, it develops scalable methods to discover and attribute internet-exposed LEO satellite endpoints associated with maritime vessels using service-visible evidence such as domain names, certificates, hosted content, and external maritime data. Second, it creates non-intrusive measurement methods to assess bandwidth, latency, and outages while accounting for path changes, point-of-presence changes, inter-satellite links, and bottleneck ambiguity. Third, it characterizes how vessel movement, geographic location, distance from terrestrial infrastructure, and network routing shape maritime LEO satellite internet performance and reliability. The project will produce measurement code and datasets supporting reproducible research and will support undergraduate research opportunities. Work is performed at UCLA's Los Angeles, California location, with performance extending through September 30, 2028. The effort addresses a gap in visibility into real-world satellite internet performance in remote maritime environments where satellite networks are often the only available communication means, providing techniques and data for networking researchers, satellite operators, maritime stakeholders, and policymakers to evaluate performance and identify reliability gaps.
