Our project seeks to transform space communication by pioneering goal-oriented strategies that optimize the transport of machine type flows in space networks. Key advancements include the development of principles for goal-oriented sampling, scheduling, random access, and flow control specifically tailored for unique challenges facing space networks.

The GO SPACE project, led by Prof. Dr. Elif Uysal, Fellow, IEEE. Located in Middle East Technical University, Ankara, TURKIYE, the project also includes collaboration and staff exchange with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Munich, Germany. The project aims to unlock the capacity of space networks through layer-2 and above innovations, bridging gaps between terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication standards including 6G-NTN and DTN.
