The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems Standards program
The objectives of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) include the identification of those common elements of space data systems which, if implemented in a standardized way, will significantly enhance the operation of future cooperative space missions. Recommendations of the CCSDS include packet telemetry and telecommand concepts, coding designs, ancillary data parameters and formats, and data exchange conventions. Consideration is given to the application of CCSDS recommendations.
