On Thursday June 19, 2025 at 15:00 UTC the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) and the India Internet Engineering Society (IIESoc) present a webinar ‘Using the IP Protocol Suite for Deep Space Networking‘.

This presentation will describe the use case of deep space networking, the key considerations to deploy such a network, and its requirements. It will also describe the current plans of the space agencies and private sector for Moon and Mars deployments. It will then describe the proposed solution. This work is being standardized in IETF by the newly formed working group called TIPTOP (Taking IP to Other Planets). A description of the working group, milestones and current work will conclude the presentation.

Speaker Marc Blanchet is president of Viagenie, a consulting firm on Internet engineering. He has been involved in IETF for 35 years, wrote 17 RFCs, co-chaired many IETF working groups, including DTN, and was an IAB member. He is the investigator of the Deep Space IP initiative which folded into the TIPTOP working group, where he is technical advisor and delegate. He is the founder of the Space Assigned Numbers Authority (SANA) which does a similar role to IANA, but for space communications standards of the CCSDS. He is currently leading the Moon networking governance group of the Interagency Operations Advisory Group (IOAG).
