Data standards for the Space Station Freedom Program
The Space Station Freedom Program (SSFP) plans to utilize several of the Recommendations of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). This paper discusses four aspects of the effect of the Advanced Orbiting Systems (AOS) within the SSFP which are of special interest. It is first noted that the AOS is a new Recommendation of the CCSDS, and the SSFP has been in the unique position of playing a major role in the development of the Recommendation. Interactions of the process by the Program and the CCSDS are shown. Second, the specific application of the CCSDS AOS Recommendation to each of the four SSFP flight elements and the resulting sets of services provided on each element are discussed. Third, the usefulness and importance of the AOS Recommendation within the context of the international nature of the SSFP and as part of the generation of interorganizational support agreements within NASA are discussed. Finally, the current status of baselining various CCSDS Recommendations, especially the AOS, into the SSFP requirements structure is given.
Standard format data units - Tools for automatic exchange of space mission data
A set of standard formatting rules for the data sets, and a standard computer-readable language with which to describe the data, are two tools which are used to create the Standard Format Data Unit (SFDU). The NASA/JPL proposal for creation and utilization of SFDUs is presented, and its relationship to recommendations from the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is discussed. Several current and planned implementations of the SFDU concept among major space flight projects are identified. The purpose of creating the concept of an SFDU is to allow members of the science community to share national and global resource data independently of project or program. The feedback from SFDU implementation efforts is considered an essential part of the CCSDS activity. Even though the CCSDS specifically deals with space data systems, the SFDU concept can be applied to practically every data system on an open network. The SFDU is in the early phase of CCSDS standard definition work, and must go through several other phases before being formally recommended as an international standard.
Advanced concepts for telemetry data systems
The Consultative Committee for Space Data Standards (CCSDS) has defined Advanced Orbiting System (AOS) standards for the overall architectural framework of future packet telemetry systems. The standards encompass a CCSDS principal network covering the onboard space-link and ground systems, and furnishes an asynchronous (telemetry/internetworking) and isochronous (audio and video) data-transport services employing CCSDS packets and virtual channels. Attention is given to changes envisioned in ground telemetry processing systems currently in use, as well as to the application of CCSDS standards to future systems.
CNES-NASA Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Interoperability
Future missions requiring robust internetworking services may use Delay-Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) technology. CNES, NASA, and other international space agencies are committed to using CCSDS standards in their space and ground mission communications systems. The experiment described in this presentation will evaluate operations concepts, system performance, and advance technology readiness for the use of DTN protocols in conjunction with CCSDS ground systems, CCSDS data links, and CCSDS file transfer applications
Asynchronous Message Service for Deep Space Mission Operations
While the CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) provides internationally standardized file transfer functionality that can offer significant benefits for deep space mission operations, not all spacecraft communication requirements are necessarily best met by file transfer. In particular, continuous event-driven asynchronous message exchange may also be useful for communications with, among, and aboard spacecraft. CCSDS has therefore undertaken the development of a new Asynchronous Message Service (AMS) standard, designed to provide common functionality over a wide variety of underlying transport services, ranging from shared memory message queues to CCSDS telemetry systems. The present paper discusses the design concepts of AMS, their applicability to deep space mission operations problems, and the results of preliminary performance testing obtained from exercise of a prototype implementation.
Asynchronous Message Service for Deep Space Mission Operations
AMS is in early stages of standardization. a) CCSDS "white book" (Proposed Standard) has been published. b) A single implementation has been developed and is being tested. No major obstacles encountered so far. a) Protocol has changed since original concept paper, but not radically. b) Design concepts seem to be sound. AMS capabilities seem to be broadly applicable. a) On-board, proximity, and deep-space communications for spacecraft. b) Suitable underlying messaging protocol for proposed CCSDS Spacecraft Monitor and Control protocols. c) Terrestrial applications designed for operation over a message bus. AMS Working Group within CCSDS is on schedule, so far.
Standards for space data systems
NASA has chaired the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) for the past four years. During that time, a top-level, end-to-end reference model for space data sytems has been developed that identifies the functions anad services which must be provided by space data systems, and defines the interfaces between major functional elements. A group of definitions for standard protocols has been derived by analyzing these interfaces, and a set of detailed guidelines for space data system standards is in the final stages of negotiation among member CCSDS agencies. Two guidelines that address packet telemetry and channel coding have been approved and are being incorporated into the internal standards of member agencies. Others (packet telecommand, time code, standards data format unit) are in review within CCSDS technical panels and will soon be submitted for approval. These guidelines provide a mechanism for significant cost savings in the implementation of space data systems by allowing reuse of hardware and software for different payloads and for missions, and by enabling the substitution of new technology/higher performance elements at key points in the data system without causing major perturbations in the remainder of the system.
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.
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.
Services, architectures, and protocols for space data systems
The author presents a comprehensive discussion of three major aspects of the work of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), a worldwide cooperative effort of national space agencies. The author examines the CCSDS space data communications network concept on which the data communications facilities of future advanced orbiting systems will be based. He derives the specifications of an open communications architecture as a reference model for the development of services and protocols that support the transfer of information over space data communications networks. Detailed specifications of the communication services and information transfer protocols that have reached a high degree of maturity and stability are offered. The author also includes a complete list of currently available CCSDS standards and supporting documentation.
