Spacecraft Packet Telemetry is used to transport telemetry data from a spacecraft to the ground system.
The TM Encoder is part of the on-board spacecraft system.
It takes telemetry data, typically contained in packets, and formats them into telemetry
frames for downlink to the ground.
When the telemetry frames reach the ground they are processed by the
TM Decoder to extract the packets and other data.
The TM Space Data Link Protocol forms a central part of the packet telemetry system. In addition to packets, it can also carry data in other data structures.
The Spacecraft Packet Telemetry standard is defined by the CCSDS recommendations and ECSS and ESA standards. Our Telemetry Encoder Shell and Telemetry Decoder Shell packages support the standard.
