The Integrated Concept of the Ground Segment for Space Internet

摘要

With the rapid development of internet and information technology as well as the increasing complexity of space missions, a strong demand to extend the internet to space and to establish an integrated space-ground network system came into being. To develop the cooperating capabilities of satellite-ground integrity and to improve the inter-operational capabilities of different systems of ground segment, the importance of integrated research for ground segment is presented in the paper firstly, then the integrated concept of the ground segment for space internet was proposed, and some key problems that needs to be solved are analyzed. Finally, suggestions are given regarding the steps of development.
