The scope of the SpaceFibre standard is the detailed specification a very high-speed serial link protocol stack reaching from link level Quality layer  down to the Physical layer. The higher layers like packet, network and higher level protocols are the same as for SpaceWire and specified in the respective standards ECSS-E-ST-50-12C and ECSS-E-ST-50-51C to 53C.

Raumfahrttechnik - SpaceFibre - Teil 50-11: Sehr schnelle serielle Schnittstelle

Ingénierie spatiale - SpaceFibre - Liaison série très haut débit

SpaceFibre est une technologie de liaison série et de réseau à très haut débit spécialement conçue pour une utilisation à bord des engins spatiaux. Capable de fonctionner sur câble électrique et sur câble à fibre optique, SpaceFibre prend en charge des débits de données allant jusqu'à 5 Gbit/s (débit binaire de 6,25 Gbit/s). Cette technologie complète les capacités de la norme de réseaux embarqués SpaceWire largement utilisée. L'amélioration d'un facteur 10 du débit de données permet de réduire la masse des câbles et d'assurer un isolement galvanique. La technique multivoies augmente le débit de données encore davantage et permet de dépasser les 20 Gbit/s.
SpaceFibre offre un mécanisme de qualité de service cohérent, qui permet de prendre en charge une largeur de bande réservée et programmée, ainsi que des qualités de service basées sur des priorités. Elle améliore considérablement la détection des défauts, les possibilités d'isolement des pannes et de reprise sur panne (FDIR) par rapport à SpaceWire.
SpaceFibre a pour but de prendre en charge les charges utiles à haut débit, comme par exemple les radars à synthèse d'ouverture et les instruments optiques hyperspectraux. Cette technologie assure des communications longue distance robustes pour les applications de type lanceur et prend en charge des applications avioniques avec des contraintes de livraison déterministes, grâce à l'utilisation de canaux virtuels. SpaceFibre permet d'utiliser une infrastructure embarquée commune sur un grand nombre d'applications de mission différentes, entraînant ainsi une réduction des coûts et une possibilité de réutiliser la conception. SpaceFibre utilise un format de paquet identique à celui de SpaceWire, ce qui permet une connexion simple entre les équipements SpaceWire existants et les liaisons et réseaux SpaceFibre à grande vitesse. Les applications développées pour SpaceWire peuvent être directement transposées à SpaceFibre.
La norme SpaceFibre spécifie les interfaces vers l'application utilisateur et vers le support de transmission physique. Les interfaces intermédiaires entre couches de protocole sont également spécifiées. Les fonctions à réaliser par une interface SpaceFibre sont spécifiées. Les caractéristiques des connecteurs et des câbles pour les réalisations optiques et cuivre de SpaceFibre sont également spécifiées.
La présente norme peut être adaptée aux caractéristiques et contraintes spécifiques d’un projet spatial, conformément à l’ECSS-S-ST-00.
