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.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22671:2005), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 22671 was prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) (as
CCSDS 912.1-B-2, November 2004) 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 SLE FORWARD CLTU SERVICE
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 SLE FORWARD CLTU SERVICE
FOREWORD


This document is a technical Recommendation for use in developing ground systems for
space missions and has been prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data
Systems (CCSDS). The Space Link Extension (SLE) Forward Communications Link
Transmission Unit (CLTU) Service described herein is intended for missions that are cross
supported between Agencies of the CCSDS.

This Recommendation specifies a data service that extends certain of the space-to-ground
communications services previously defined by CCSDS (references [2] and[3]) within the
framework established by the CCSDS SLE Reference Model (reference [1]). It allows
implementing organizations within each Agency to proceed with the development of
compatible derived Standards for the ground systems that are within their cognizance.
Derived Agency Standards may implement only a subset of the optional features allowed by
the Recommendation 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, as defined in reference [E1].
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 ii.

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR SLE FORWARD CLTU SERVICE
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS RECOMMENDATION
This Recommendation defines the Communications Link Transmission Unit (CLTU) service
in conformance with the transfer services specified in reference [1], Cross Support Reference
Model—Part 1: SLE Services. The Forward CLTU service is a Space Link Extension (SLE)
transfer service that enables a mission to send Communications Link Transmission Units
(CLTUs) to a spacecraft.
1.2 SCOPE
This Recommendation defines, in an abstract manner, the Forward CLTU service in terms of:
a) the operations necessary to provide the transfer service;
b) the parameter data associated with each operation;
c) the behaviors that result from the invocation of each operation; and
d) the relationship between, and the valid sequence of, the operations and resulting
behaviors.
It does not specify:
a) individual implementations or products;
b) the implementation of entities or interfaces within real systems;
c) the methods or technologies required to radiate data to a spacecraft and to acquire
telemetry frames from the signals received from that spacecraft for extraction of the
Operational Control Field;
d) the methods or technologies required for communications; or
e) the management activities necessary to schedule, configure, and control the Forward
CLTU service.
1.3 APPLICABILITY
1.3.1 APPLICABILITY OF THIS RECOMMENDATION
This Recommendation provides a basis for the development of real systems that implement
the Forward CLTU service. Implementation of the Forward CLTU service in a real system
additionally requires the availability of a communications service to convey invocations and
returns of Forward CLTU service operations between service users and providers. This
Recommendation requires that such a communications service ensure that invocations and
returns of operations are transferred:

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
ISO 22671:2007(E)
CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR SLE FORWARD CLTU SERVICE
a) in sequence;
b) completely and with integrity;
c) without duplication;
d) with flow control that notifies backpressure to the application layer in the event of
congestion; and
e) with notification to the application layer in the event that communications between
the Forward CLTU service user and the Forward CLTU service provider are
disrupted, possibly resulting in a loss of data.
It is the specific intent of this Recommendation to define the Forward CLTU service in a
manner that is independent of any particular communications services, protocols, or
technologies.
1.3.2 LIMITS OF APPLICABILITY
This Recommendation specifies the Forward CLTU service that may be provided by an SLE
System for inter-Agency cross support. It is neither a specification of, nor a design for, real
systems that may be implemented for the control and monitoring of existing or future
missions.
1.4 RATIONALE
The goal of this Recommendation is to create a standard for interoperability between the
tracking stations or ground data handling systems of various agencies and the users of
forward services.
1.5 DOCUMENT STRUCTURE
1.5.1 DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION
This Recommendation is organized as follows:
a) section 1 provides purpose, scope, applicability, and rationale of this
Recommendation and lists definitions, nomenclature, conventions, and references
used throughout the Recommendation;
b) section 2 presents an overview of the Forward CLTU service including a functional
description, the service management context, and protocol considerations;
c) section 3 specifies the operations of the Forward CLTU service;
d) section 4 specifies the dynamic behavior of the Forward CLTU service in terms of the
state transitions of the Forward CLTU service provider;

CCSDS RECOMMENDATION FOR SLE FORWARD CLTU SERVICE
e) annex A is a formal specification of Forward CLTU service data types, using the
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1);
f) annex B lists all terms used in this document and identifies where they are defined;
g) annex C lists all acronyms used within this document;
h) annex D provides a conformance matrix that defines what capabilities must be
provided for an implementation to be considered compliant with this
Recommendation;
i) annex E contains a list of informative references;
j) annex F contains examples of usage of the CLTU-THROW-EVENT operation;
k) annex G explains the relationship of the Forward CLTU service to the status of the
forward space link channel.
1.5.2 SLE SERVICES DOCUMENTATION TREE
This Recommendation is based on the architectural model for cross support defined in
reference [1]. It expands upon the concept of an SLE transfer service as interactions between
SLE Mission User Entities (MUEs) and an SLE transfer service provider for the purpose of
providing the Forward CLTU transfer service.
This Recommendation is part of a suite of documents specifying the SLE Services. The SLE
Services constitute one of the three types of Cross Support Services:
a) Part 1: SLE Services;
b) Part 2: Ground Communications Services;
c) Part 3: Ground Domain Services.
The basic organization of the SLE services documentation is shown in figure 1-1. The
documents are described in the following paragraphs.
