BACKGROUND
[002] Currently, numerous deep space missions are being performed by various countries such as United States of America, Russia, japan, European Union, china and India. This is because exploring outer space and solar system always provides lot of useful contribution to the research and knowledge of the society as a whole. Now a days, due to the improvements in the capability of satellite component design and deep space launch capabilities, it is a possibility that human may travel to unknown boundaries in the solar system and can build a support centres in different planets at millions of miles away from earth. Space probes are sent to outer space like mars, Saturn to explore and study our solar system. Deep space communication and interplanetary communications is necessary for such outer planetary exploration.

transmitting the data stream through one or more paths based on the selected active nodes, and the protocol for transmission of the data stream utilizing a store and forward methodology, for communication between the earth deep space station, and the deep space satellite.
