Selection note: Curated because “Implementing Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking for NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Clouds, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Mission” covers dtn, networking, pace, science missions; it materially informs GShips work on delay tolerant networking.
Evidence boundary: NTRS provides open full text, but this conference paper was screened for curation rather than independently or domain reviewed; inclusion is contextual, not automatic claim evidence.

Source-supplied abstract
NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Clouds, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission will be the first NASA science mission to use Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) for routine operations. The DTN Bundle Protocol (BP) is being integrated into the core Flight Software (cFS) for the transfer of house-keeping files. DTN nodes will also be integrated into the Near Space Network (NSN) ground stations and the PACE Mission Operations Center. This paper will describe the DTN implementations, the PACE DTN operations concept and how this mission is a significant step towards the Solar System Internet.
