Integrated network architecture for sustained human and robotic exploration

@inproceedings{citeulike:2648124, abstract = {The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Exploration Systems Mission Directorate is planning a series of human and robotic missions to the Earth's Moon and to Mars.
