Popis: Several fields of application of satellite systems may benefit from having on-board processing units able to route IP packets. Network Centric Operations (NCO) for dual-use applications, space exploration and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communication satellite constellations are among them. This paper describes an end-to-end (E2E) telecommunication (TLC) satellite system with on-board IP routing functionality. The on-board IP routing is performed at IP packet level by means of a ground-board system currently under study in Thales Alenia Space - Italia.
