BS EN 16603-50-53 specifies the CCSDS packet transfer protocol, which is one of these protocols that work over SpaceWire.
BS EN 16603-50-53 has been prepared by the Technical Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 “Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
BS EN 16603-50-53 has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore, precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider
the domain of applicability (e.g.: aerospace).
BS EN 16603-50-53 on CCSDS packet transfer protocol is useful for:
The aim of the CCSDS Packet Transfer Protocol is to transfer CCSDS Packets across a SpaceWire network. It does this by encapsulating the CCSDS Packet in a SpaceWire packet, transferring it across the SpaceWire network, and then extracting the CCSDS Packet at the target.
There is a number of communication protocols that can be used in conjunction with the SpaceWire Standard (ECSS-E-ST-50-12), to provide a comprehensive set of services for onboard user applications. To distinguish between the various protocols a protocol identifier is used, as specified in ECSS-E-ST-50-51.
BS EN 16603-50-53 may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
BS EN 16603-50-53 covers the terms and definitions, principles, required characteristics and parameters of CCSDS Packet in a SpaceWire.
By adopting BS EN 16603-50-53, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their space wires and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
