We implement the network model using four satellites as described in the previous slide. The source the router and the destination are all satellites and for this experiment we have 4 satellites (Two Earth Orbiter, A and B and Two Moon Orbiters, MA and MB) each of which have their contact plan as described.
The table shows the contact plan we obtained for a duration of 1800 secs, where nodes A and B are the Earth satellites, MA and MB are the Moon satellites. In the table, for example, the first row shows the first contact between nodes A and B; contact starts at 0 sec and lasts for 1080 secs. The average distance between A and B during this contact is 8,576km, which corresponds to the propagation delay of 0.018 sec.
