-
The Internet of things (IoT) broadly refers to the ecosystem where billions of interconnected physical objects/devices/end-nodes are equipped with communication, sensing, computing, and actuating capabilities. It is a key technology in space exploration that enables real-time communication, data collection, and safety monitoring. The integration of the IoT in space exploration and colonization represents a major leap forward in technological innovation, allowing for continuous data collection, automated operations, and enhanced scientific discovery. This paper examines the integration of IoT in space exploration.
