The next 40 years in space standards

Methods used in producing, introducing, and using standards for civilian space research are examined, with special consideration given to the recommendations of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) as an example of a set of standards best coordinated through the International Standard Organization (ISO). The paper uses an example of earth-observation data as a CCSDS application for an international coordination effort within the ISO and describes progress in achieving this objective. Lists of CCDSD member agencies and CCSDS observer agencies are included.

Standards for earth observations from space

The development of earth observation standards and the need for cooperation between national and international earth resource organizations are discussed. Possible solutions to the problem of developing a coordinated effort in the development of observational satellite systems are given. The activities of the AIAA Earth Observation Committee on Standards are reviewed. It is suggested that earth observation organizations must combine their resources and efforts and that computer programs of earth observation organizations, their work and products, and agreements between various organizations, should be developed. Charts of organizations addressing the problems in earth observations by satellite are presented, including descriptions of their activities.
