Abstract
This paper describes the Ground Station network (GSN) Project. The objectives of GSN are to connect ground stations that worldwide universities possess via Internet, to remote-control them to enlarge visible duration, and to share telemetry data and so on. Several Universities in Japan anticipate the GSN project and discuss about GSN protocol in USSS, UNISAT (UNISEC). We proposed adopting SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) for GSN transmission protocol. SOAP is an XML/HTTP-based protocol for accessing services and objects in a platform-independent manner. Up to now, we made a draft of GSN protocol for remote-control, and did fundamental remote-control experiment on the GSN protocol. In this paper, we present about GSN protocol and the result of the experiment.
