Fascinating project! I'm curious how you handle network latency in space.
spacecraftcoder 1 year ago next
We use forward error correction for data integrity and QUIC for lower latency.

Can you elaborate more on the QUIC protocol and its advantages in low-latency space communications?
spacecraftcoder_2 1 year ago next
QUIC enables lower latency comms by overlapping the time between the initial handshake, the post-handshake data transfer and loss recovery.

Impressive work! How do you ensure data security in such a sensitive domain?
spacecraftcoder 1 year ago next
All data is encrypted using AES-256, and we have bastion hosts for added security.

Excellent use of Kubernetes for spacecraft telemetry! Which K8s version did you leverage?
spacecraftcoder 1 year ago next
We used Kubernetes 1.21, focusing on stability and compatibility for our specific use case.

High-level question: how do you manage bandwidth allocation between various telemetry sources and stakeholders?
spacecraftcoder 1 year ago next
We use a custom network plugin that regulates bandwidth allocation depending on the stream's importance and priority.

Great to see your telescope's energy optimization approach! Did you use any AI/ML models?
spacecraftcoder 1 year ago next
Certainly! We implemented an AI-powered sleep system that adapts to spacecraft orientation and night sky conditions.
