NASA Challenge: Infographic/Animation to Help Explain Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) Protocol

This is a NASA Challenge to develop graphic elements or animation to help explain the Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) Protocol and how it improves communications. The world’s leading space agencies have agreed that future spacecraft will communicate with Earth and among themselves using a new Solar System Internet (SSI) based on Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) technology. DTN is a protocol suite that extends the terrestrial Internet capabilities into highly stressed data communication environments where the conventional Internet does not work well. These environments are typically subject to frequent disruptions, unidirectional links, possibly long delays and high error rates. The DTN architecture is described in RFC 4838 (attached).

The attached files and links provide information about the Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) Protocol, how it works, and how it can be used.

For this challenge, the benefits of DTN need to be effectively conveyed to individuals at different levels of management and with different technical backgrounds. Pictures or animated graphics can make a huge difference in conveying a concept to those less familiar with it.

Requirements:
- Submissions must provide imagery/graphics that convey what Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) is and how it improves communications in a delay/disruption prone environment.
- Submissions must provide at least one product suitable for inclusion in a slide deck (i.e., message is still conveyed when sized down for presentation), and at least one product suitable for presentation on a poster-board.
- Submissions must relate the use of the DTN protocol to planned NASA missions.
- If selected as a winning submission, high resolution source graphics and/or multimedia files must be provided during handover. These files must be provided in standard, widely available/used formats.

Judging Criteria
- Visual Appeal: Submission is comprised using an attractive color scheme
- Impact: Submission is novel, clever, or memorable.
- Completeness: Submission elements communicate the usefulness and workings of DTN.
- Technically Sufficient: Submission provides the elements needed for both presentation formats and poster formats and are provided in the necessary standard file formats.

There may be multiple prizes awarded on this contest. The main winner will be awarded the full prize amount listed. Additional winners may be offered lesser prize amounts depending on the submission (i.e. a high quality or novel submission that only deals with a portion what DTN can do).

Dear contest holder,
The contest you create requires a deep understanding.
I am trying to research what is DTN.
Until now it takes time to move on paper or computer, because I always read articles and journals.
I am interested in your contest.
But as a contestant I need to say that the prize win you offer is not enough. #increaseprize

  Thanks for your interest in the contest. We actually chose to run a contest rather than simply contract this work out to provide an opportunity for those interested in working with NASA and contributing to our work. We would really like to engage the public where we can. We have learned however from past contests that if we set the prize too high, the combination of a higher prize and a NASA contest can generate hundreds to even thousands of entries which can be problematic for our teams to evaluate. We do understand that contests only compensate the winners and thus leave the rest of the participants without compensation. However, that is the nature of a contest. We do try and provide a very favorable review to the winner which we hope can provide a boost to a freelancer's portfolio for their work that they did for NASA.

  Our hope is that this provides value to the winner that helps to offset the lower prize. We understand this type of contest will not attract all freelancers and understand that some do not have the time or flexibility to participate. We wish you the best in your endeavors.

Shams A. Maybe no one taught you that spending power changes in every country for the same sum. Anyway I'm pretty sure that the doctor did not order you to participate.

For all of the Freelancers that are submitting logos, PLEASE READ the contest specification carefully. You will note that we are NOT looking for a logo, but rather graphics, infographics, or animations that explain/communicate how DTN works and is useful.

Hi, is there a specific output in terms of frame-rate, resolution, format and bit depth? For smooth animations I work to 60 frames per second with a higher bit-rate as a result. As i will be using vector graphics i will be able to scale the size and frame-rate to your specifications.

  The main focus will be communicating the message. For the final output, we will want a nice, clean look. Thanks.

  The graphics references are quite impressive. There are elements that could work for this contest. The main objective is to communicate how the DTN protocol works and how it is useful.
