Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for network communication within a Lunar and Interplanetary communication system. In one aspect, a length of time of line of sight occlusion associated with an object is determined based on a position of the object within its orbit. A dynamic forwarding table is generated that schedules packet paths among nodes within the network based on the length of time of the line of sight occlusion. A packet path for a packet is determined based on the dynamic forwarding table, where the packet path is based on minimizing the length of time of the line of sight occlusion associated with the object.
