InterPlanetary Communications (IPC)

InterPlanetary Communications (IPC) refers to the technology and systems used to transmit data between Earth and other planets, such as Mars or beyond. It involves advanced radio and laser networks capable of handling significant distances, delays, and potential signal disruptions. IPC enables real-time or near-real-time communication for space missions, supporting data transfer, command control, and scientific exchange. As human exploration expands, developing robust IPC systems is essential for maintaining connectivity, ensuring mission success, and supporting future interplanetary habitation and research.
