With the continuous development of Space Information Networks (SIN), there is an increasing demand for a cost-effective and high-fidelity tool to carry out research on related networking technologies. Neither the real testbed which is expensive nor the simulators which lack realism can meet our requirements. Therefore, this paper introduces MininetE to emulate space networking allowing relatively high-fidelity experiments that can run on the constrained resources of a single laptop. MininetE enhances the well-known Mininet emulator with adequate isolation and implements dynamic topology control with the original SDN capabilities. The validity of MininetE is verified by results of a Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) experiment.
