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 17355 was prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems
(CCSDS) (as CCSDS 727.0-B-1, January 2002) 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.

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR CCSDS FILE DELIVERY PROTOCOL (CFDP)
STATEMENT OF INTENT


The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is an organization 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:

o 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.

o 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.

o 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 canceled.
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 CCSDS FILE DELIVERY PROTOCOL (CFDP)
FOREWORD
Until relatively recently the typical storage medium for spacecraft has been the tape recorder,
a complex device offering limited data storage and data access. The use of this type of
storage has typically been limited to the recording and subsequent dump to the ground of
telemetry data. Manipulation from the ground has required significant human intervention
and used ad hoc, privately developed protocols.
The introduction of solid state mass memory providing gigabytes of storage with random
access opens up a whole new ethos of spacecraft operation where much of the routine traffic
to and from the spacecraft will be in the form of files. Furthermore, because of the random
access nature of the onboard storage medium, it becomes possible to repeat transmission of
data lost on the link and thus guarantee delivery of critical information.
To exploit the potential advantages of onboard mass memory, protocol support is required to
provide a standard means to move data to and from the onboard storage medium in the form
of files.
While the onboard storage medium has rapidly evolved, the essential constraints of space
missions remain:
– limited systems resources in terms of computational power and memory capacities;
– environmental restrictions including noisy, bandwidth limited, asymmetrical, and
interrupted communications links, some with very long propagation delay;
– varying user needs including a requirement for early access to transferred data regardless
of its quality.
In view of these constraints, it is clear that there is a need for a file delivery service capable of
transferring files to and from mass memory located in the space segment. Such a capability
must not only operate under the constraints associated with space data communication, but it
must also be applicable to the diverse range of mission configurations ranging from single
low earth orbiting spacecraft to complex networks of relays, orbiters, and landers.
Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion, or
modification of this document may occur. This Recommendation is therefore subject to
CCSDS document management and change control procedures which are defined in
reference [A1]. 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 CCSDS FILE DELIVERY PROTOCOL (CFDP)
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This document defines a CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) and associated service for
application in the space environment. It is intended for use over the current and envisaged
packet delivery services used in the space environment including:
– CCSDS conventional packet telecommand;
– CCSDS conventional packet telemetry;
– CCSDS Advanced Orbiting Systems (AOS) Path service.
In may also operate over a wide variety of ground network services including those specified
by the CCSDS for cross-support purposes.
The protocol operates in the space-to-ground, ground-to-space, and space-to-space directions
of transfer. It may be initiated by the file sending or receiving entity.
In the interests of interoperability, protocol elements are included for generalized forms of
standard file manipulation operations based on assumptions of a common model for a
‘filestore’, or medium used to store files. It is recognized, however, that the precise nature
and capabilities of filestore management systems are operating-system dependent and, for
that reason, the protocol assumes a virtual filestore and associated services that an
implementation must map to the capabilities of the actual filestore used.
1.2 APPLICABILITY
This Recommendation specifies a protocol and associated services that are applicable to
space missions with continuous duplex contact, intermittent duplex contact, asymmetrical
time-disjunct contact, and simplex contact.
1.3 CONVENTIONS AND DEFINITIONS
1.3.1 BIT NUMBERING CONVENTION AND NOMENCLATURE
In this document, the following convention is used to identify each bit in an N-bit field. The
first bit in the field to be transmitted (i.e., the most left justified when drawing a figure) is
defined to be ‘Bit 0’; the following bit is defined to 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
(MSB) shall be the first transmitted bit of the field, i.e., ‘Bit 0’.
