AOS space data links: Published standards

The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) publishes recommended standards for the AOS (Advanced Orbiting Systems) space data link for telemetry and telecommand. The standards define protocols, procedures and data structures, including the AOS Transfer Frame.

CCSDS documents can be downloaded from the website at www.ccsds.org.

Note: The AOS standards define the AOS Space Data Link Protocol for handling AOS Transfer Frames (Version-2 Transfer Frames). The telemetry standards define the TM Space Data Link Protocol for handling TM Transfer Frames (Version-1 Transfer Frames).
