Abstract
This thesis explores the application of an event-triggered communication strategy for a satellite swarm deployed in deep space. It analyzes the differences between near Earth and deep space satellite power constraints to develop a communication strategy suitable for the proposed mission. A probabilistic event model has been developed to represent the information shared within the swarm. This model is used to determine each member satellite’s threshold for communication broadcast. The performance of the proposed strategy has been simulated, and the simulation results indicate it is possible to reduce intra-swarm communication to a bare minimum without compromising on information exchange. The practical limitations of such a strategy are discussed. Additionally, possible improvements considering practical satellite requirements are also discussed.Description
