Summary:Self-assembly protocols for aerospace structures development require a communication architecture that can assist in the decentralized control of those structures. The architecture presented in this article is an infrastructure-less networking framework with a self-organizing wireless communications networking protocol; this includes a communication primitive for data structure replication with consistency that acts as a shared brain between the nodes. This article also presents the applicability for such a communication architecture in space applications with a proof-of-concept implementation in ultra-low power hardware to demonstrate the feasibility. It also presents the results of the implemented communication primitives in the communication architecture.
