The High-rate Delay Tolerant Networking (HDTN) project at the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center (GRC) is developing a performance optimized Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) implementation which is able to provide reliable multigigabit per second automated network communications for near-Earth and deep space missions. To that end, this paper provides an overview of the testing and integration efforts culminating in a high-rate DTN demonstration onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Over several years, the HDTN team has performed a series of end-to-end tests between the Software Development and Integration Laboratory (SDIL) at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) and Marshall Space Flight Center’s Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC). The testing has focused on a realistic emulation of the ISS Ku-band RF link, which operates at a maximum of 500 Mbps downlink with a 600 ms round-trip time. In this environment, the HDTN onboard gateway has been tested for interoperability with ISS payload nodes and the DTN ground gateway, store and forward capability, reliable transport using the Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP), and successful recovery from unexpected loss of signal. In addition to integration testing, HDTN has developed a series of software engineering practices to ensure the stability and maturity of the implementation. As the result, HDTN has successfully demonstrated high-rate DTN services onboard the ISS. This paper concludes with a summary of preliminary flight testing results from the Integrated LCRD LEO User Modem and Amplifier Terminal networking experiments.
