Space data and information transfer systems — Packet telemetry

ISO 13419:2003 specifies the requirements for spacecraft packet telemetry systems. Packet telemetry is a concept which facilitates the transmission of space-acquired data from source to user in a standardized highly automated manner. Packet telemetry provides a mechanism for implementing common data transport structures and protocols, which may enhance the development and operation of space mission systems. ISO 13419:2003 addresses two processes: the end-to-end transport of space mission data sets from source application processes located in space to distributed user application processes located on the ground, and the intermediate transfer of these data sets through space data acquisition networks, which contain spacecraft, radio links, tracking stations, ground communications circuits and mission control centres as some of their components. ISO 13419:2003 is limited to describing the telemetry formats, which are generated by the spacecraft in order to execute its role in the above processes. It includes comprehensive specification of the structure of data streams that are generated by remote space vehicles for telemetering to space mission data processing facilities (which are usually located on Earth). It does not attempt to define the architecture or configuration of these data processing facilities, except to describe assumed ground data handling services, which affect the selection of certain on-board formatting options. ISO 13419:2003 specifies a wide range of formatting capabilities, which may facilitate a high degree of flexibility in the design of spacecraft data acquisition systems; however, compatibility with the packet telemetry concept may be realized by only implementing a narrow subset of these capabilities.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 13419 was prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems
(CCSDS) (as CCSDS 102.0-B-5, November 2000) and was adopted (without modifications except those
stated in Clause 2 of this International Standard) by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space
vehicles, Subcommittee SC 13, Space data and information transfer systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13419:1997), which has been technically
revised.

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR PACKET TELEMETRY

STATEMENT OF INTENT
The CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE FOR SPACE DATA SYSTEMS (CCSDS) is an
organisation officially established by the management of member space Agencies. The
Committee meets periodically to address data systems problems that are common to all
participants, and to formulate sound technical solutions to these problems. Inasmuch as
participation in the CCSDS is completely voluntary, the results of Committee actions are
termed RECOMMENDATIONs and are not considered binding on any Agency.
This RECOMMENDATION is issued by, and represents the consensus of, the CCSDS
Plenary body. Agency endorsement of this RECOMMENDATION is entirely voluntary.
Endorsement, however, indicates the following understandings:
— Whenever an Agency establishes a CCSDS-related STANDARD, this STANDARD
will be in accord with the relevant RECOMMENDATION. Establishing such a
STANDARD does not preclude other provisions which an Agency may develop.
— Whenever an Agency establishes a CCSDS-related STANDARD, the Agency will
provide other CCSDS member Agencies with the following information:
• the STANDARD itself.
• the anticipated date of initial operational capability.
• the anticipated duration of operational service.
— Specific service arrangements shall be made via memoranda of agreement. Neither this
RECOMMENDATION nor any ensuing STANDARD is a substitute for a
memorandum of agreement.
No later than five years from its date of issuance, this RECOMMENDATION will be
reviewed by the CCSDS to determine whether it should: (1) remain in effect without change;
(2) be changed to reflect the impact of new technologies, new requirements, or new directions;
or (3) be retired or cancelled.
In those instances when a new version of a RECOMMENDATION is issued, existing
CCSDS-related Agency standards and implementations are not negated or deemed to be non-
CCSDS compatible. It is the responsibility of each Agency to determine when such standards or
implementations are to be modified. Each Agency is, however, strongly encouraged to direct
planning for its new standards and implementations towards the later version of the
RECOMMENDATION.

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR PACKET TELEMETRY

FOREWORD
This document is a technical RECOMMENDATION for use in developing packetised telemetry
systems and has been prepared by the CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE FOR SPACE DATA
SYSTEMS (CCSDS). The Packet Telemetry concept described herein is the baseline concept for
spacecraft-to-ground data communication within missions that are cross-supported between
Agencies of the CCSDS.
This RECOMMENDATION establishes a common framework and provides a common basis
for the data structures of spacecraft telemetry streams. It allows implementing organisations
within each Agency to proceed coherently with the development of compatible derived
Standards for the flight and ground systems that are within their cognizance. Derived Agency
Standards may implement only a subset of the optional features allowed by the RECOMMEN-
DATION and may incorporate features not addressed by the RECOMMENDATION.
Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion or modification
to this document may occur. This RECOMMENDATION is therefore subject to CCSDS
document management and change control procedures which are defined in Reference [1].
Current versions of CCSDS documents are maintained at the CCSDS Web site:
http://www.ccsds.org/
Questions relating to the contents or status of this document should be addressed to the
CCSDS Secretariat at the address indicated on page i.

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR PACKET TELEMETRY

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to establish a common RECOMMENDATION for the
implementation of spacecraft “Packet Telemetry” systems by the Agencies participating in the
CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE FOR SPACE DATA SYSTEMS (CCSDS).
1.2 SCOPE
PACKET TELEMETRY is a concept which facilitates the transmission of space-acquired data
from source to user in a standardised highly automated manner. PACKET TELEMETRY
provides a mechanism for implementing common data transport structures and protocols
which may enhance the development and operation of space mission systems.
This RECOMMENDATION addresses the following two processes:
— The end-to-end transport of space mission data sets from source application processes
located in space to distributed user application processes located on the ground.
— The intermediate transfer of these data sets through space data acquisition networks,
which contain spacecraft, radio links, tracking stations, ground communications
circuits and mission control centres as some of their components.
This RECOMMENDATION is limited to describing the telemetry formats which are
generated by the spacecraft in order to execute its role in the above processes. The services
corresponding to these formats are defined in Reference [8]. The CCSDS channel coding and
synchronisation mechanisms required to implement space-to-ground data links of acceptable
quality are defined in Reference [2].
An overview of the PACKET TELEMETRY Concept is given in Chapter 2.
1.3 APPLICABILITY
This RECOMMENDATION applies to the creation of Agency standards and to the future
exchange of PACKET TELEMETRY between CCSDS Agencies in cross-support situations.
The RECOMMENDATION includes comprehensive specification of the structure of data
streams that are generated by remote space vehicles for telemetering to space mission data
processing facilities (which are usually located on Earth). The RECOMMENDATION does
not attempt to define the architecture or configuration of these data processing facilities,
except to describe assumed ground data handling services which affect the selection of
certain on-board formatting options.

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
ISO 13419:2003(E)
CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR PACKET TELEMETRY

The RECOMMENDATION specifies a wide range of formatting capabilities which may
facilitate a high degree of flexibility in the design of spacecraft data acquisition systems;
however, compatibility with the PACKET TELEMETRY concept may be realised by only
implementing a narrow subset of these capabilities. Some “Application Notes” which discuss
how different levels of compatibility may be achieved are included in Reference [5].
1.4 RATIONALE
The CCSDS believes it is important to document the rationale underlying the recommenda-
tions chosen, so that future evaluations of proposed changes or improvements will not lose
sight of previous decisions. The concept and rationale for PACKET TELEMETRY may also
be found in Reference [5].
1.5 STRUCTURE OF THE DOCUMENT
For the designation of text partitions the following conventions will be used:
— text designated by one number belongs to a Chapter;
— text designated by two numbers belongs to a Section;
— text designated by three numbers belongs to a Sub-Section;
— text designated by four numbers belongs to a Paragraph;
— text designated by a lower case letter belongs to an Item.
All specifications are contained in Chapters 3 and 5 of this RECOMMENDATION. They are
identified by an Item Number consisting of the number of the text partition as defined above,
and a lower case letter. The conventions and definitions applied in these specifications are
itemised in Section 1.6.
All other text and all figures in these chapters represent comments to these specifications. All
comments are printed in italics.
The contents of the specifications take precedence over those of the comments.
All terms printed in bold-face upper-case are referenced in the Index.

ISO 13419:2003(E)
CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR PACKET TELEMETRY

1.6 CONVENTIONS AND DEFINITIONS
The following Items contain the conventions which have been used throughout this
RECOMMENDATION.
BIT N-1
BIT 0
(a) To identify each bit in an N-BIT
FIELD the first bit in the field
N-BIT DATA FIELD
to be transferred (i.e., the most
left justified when drawing a
FIRST BIT TRANSFERRED = MSB
figure) is defined to be “Bit 0”;
the following bit is defined to
Figure 1-1: Bit Numbering Convention
be “Bit 1” and so on up to “Bit
N-1”. When the field is used to express a binary value (such as a counter), the MOST
SIGNIFICANT BIT shall be the first bit of the field, i.e., “Bit 0” (see Figure 1-1).
(b) In accordance with modern data communication practice, spacecraft data fields are
often grouped into 8-bit words which conform to convention 1.6.a. Throughout this
RECOMMENDATION, such an 8-bit word is termed OCTET.
(c) The numbering for OCTETs within a data structure starts with 0.
(d) The term MISSION PHASE designates a period of a mission during which specified
telemetry characteristics are fixed. The transition between two consecutive MISSION
PHASEs may cause an interruption of the telemetry services.
(e) Certain characteristics of the data structures specified in this RECOMMENDATION are
required to remain unchanged throughout a MISSION PHASE or throughout all
MISSION PHASEs. In these cases the term “static” is used to specify characteristics
which remain unchanged either with respect to an APPLICATION PROCESS
IDENTIFIER (for definition see Paragraph 3.1.2.3), or within a specific VIRTUAL
CHANNEL (for definition see Item 5.e) or within a specific MASTER CHANNEL (for
definition see Item 5.d).
(f) IDLE DATA is data which carries no information, but is sent to meet timing or
synchronisation requirements. The bit pattern of IDLE DATA is not specified.

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR PACKET TELEMETRY
2 OVERVIEW
This PACKET TELEMETRY RECOMMENDATION describes data structures used to
transport data from data sources on board a space vehicle to data sinks on the ground, as
shown in Figure 2-1.

2.1 THE PACKET TELEMETRY CONCEPT
The essence of the packet telemetry concept is to permit multiple application processes
running in on-board sources to create units of data as best suits each data source, and then to
permit the on-board data system to transmit these data units over a space-to-ground
communications channel in a way that enables the ground system to recover the individual
data units with high reliability and provide them to the data sinks in sequence. These on-
board sources are either instruments or sub-systems.
