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.
ISO 22664 was prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) (as
CCSDS 232.0-B-2, September 2010) 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 22664:2005), which has been technically
revised.

CCSDS RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR TC SPACE DATA LINK PROTOCOL
STATEMENT OF INTENT
The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is an organization officially
established by the management of its members. 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 Recommended Standards and are
not considered binding on any Agency.
This Recommended Standard is issued by, and represents the consensus of, the CCSDS
members. Endorsement of this Recommendation is entirely voluntary. Endorsement,
however, indicates the following understandings:
o Whenever a member establishes a CCSDS-related standard, this standard will be in
accord with the relevant Recommended Standard. Establishing such a standard
does not preclude other provisions which a member may develop.
o Whenever a member establishes a CCSDS-related standard, that member will
provide other CCSDS members with the following information:
-- The standard itself.
-- The anticipated date of initial operational capability.
-- The anticipated duration of operational service.
o Specific service arrangements shall be made via memoranda of agreement. Neither
this Recommended Standard nor any ensuing standard is a substitute for a
memorandum of agreement.
No later than five years from its date of issuance, this Recommended Standard 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 canceled.
In those instances when a new version of a Recommended Standard is issued, existing
CCSDS-related member standards and implementations are not negated or deemed to be non-
CCSDS compatible. It is the responsibility of each member to determine when such
standards or implementations are to be modified. Each member is, however, strongly
encouraged to direct planning for its new standards and implementations towards the later
version of the Recommended Standard.

CCSDS RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR TC SPACE DATA LINK PROTOCOL
FOREWORD
This document is a technical Recommendation for use in developing flight and ground
systems for space missions and has been prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space
Data Systems (CCSDS). The TC Space Data Link Protocol described herein is intended for
missions that are cross-supported between Agencies of the CCSDS.
This Recommendation specifies a communications protocol to be used by space missions to
transfer space application data over ground-to-space or space-to-space communications links.
This Recommendation is developed from the specifications of an older CCSDS
Recommendation (reference [B2]), which defines essentially the same protocol and services
but in a slightly different context.
This Recommendation does not change the major technical contents defined in reference [B2],
but the presentation of the specification has been changed so that:
a) this protocol can be used to transfer any data over any space link in either direction;
b) all CCSDS space link protocols are specified in a unified manner;
c) the specification matches the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference
Model (references [1] and [2]).
Together with the change in presentation, a few technical descriptions in reference [B2] have
been changed to allow flexibility for future extensions of the CCSDS protocol suite. Also,
some technical terms in reference [B2] have been changed in order to unify the terminology
used in all the CCSDS Recommendations that define space link. These changes are listed in
annex C of this 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, as defined in reference [B1].
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 RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR TC SPACE DATA LINK PROTOCOL
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Recommendation is to specify the Telecommand (TC) Space Data Link
Protocol. This protocol is a Data Link Layer protocol (see reference [1]) to be used over
ground-to-space or space-to-space communications links by space missions.
1.2 SCOPE
This Recommendation defines the TC Space Data Link Protocol in terms of:
a) the services provided to the users of this protocol;
b) the protocol data units employed by the protocol; and
c) the procedures performed by the protocol.
It does not specify:
a) individual implementations or products;
b) the implementation of service interfaces within real systems;
c) the methods or technologies required to perform the procedures; or
d) the management activities required to configure and control the protocol.
1.3 APPLICABILITY
This Recommendation applies to the creation of Agency standards and to future data
communications over space links between CCSDS Agencies in cross-support situations. The
Recommendation includes comprehensive specification of the services and protocol for inter-
Agency cross support. It is neither a specification of, nor a design for, real systems that may
be implemented for existing or future missions.
The Recommendation specified in this document is to be invoked through the normal
standards programs of each CCSDS Agency and is applicable to those missions for which
cross support based on capabilities described in this Recommendation is anticipated. Where
mandatory capabilities are clearly indicated in sections of the Recommendation, they must be
implemented when this document is used as a basis for cross support. Where options are
allowed or implied, implementation of these options is subject to specific bilateral cross
support agreements between the Agencies involved.

1.4 RATIONALE
The CCSDS believes it is important to document the rationale underlying the
recommendations chosen, so that future evaluations of proposed changes or improvements
will not lose sight of previous decisions.
1.5 DOCUMENT STRUCTURE
This document is divided into five numbered sections and three annexes:
a) section 1 presents the purpose, scope, applicability and rationale of this
Recommendation and lists the conventions, definitions, and normative references
used throughout the Recommendation;
b) section 2 provides an overview of the TC Space Data Link Protocol;
c) section 3 defines the services provided by the protocol entity;
d) section 4 specifies the protocol data units and procedures employed by the protocol
entity;
e) section 5 specifies the managed parameters used by the protocol entity;
f) annex A lists all acronyms used within this document;
g) annex B provides a list of informative references;
h) annex C lists the changes from the older CCSDS Recommendation (reference [B2]).
