CCSDS Cislunar Space Internetworking Working Group
• Chartered to produce a communications architecture for cislunar (between the Earth and the Moon) communications– Includes robotic Earth-observing and lunar missions
– Includes crewed Earth-orbital and lunar missions
– Where possible, should extend to comparable in-situ environments

Networked Communications
• Multi-Hop– “Route around” obstructions– Heterogeneous links tuned to the environment
• Global Addressing– Applications don’t have to worry about where the
destinations are or how to get there
• Automated data forwarding– Fewer commanded data movements
• Efficient multiplexing of many applications

Which Network Layer?
• Choices include– IP– ATM– IPX– AppleTalk– …
• Advantages of IP– NOT connection-oriented (don’t need end-to-end signaling to set
up path)– Wide availability of implementations / hardware
• Including small implementations suitable for flight software
– Interoperability with ground infrastructure• Simplifies testing / verification

Other Topics in Green Book
• Quality of Service• Security• Emergency Commanding• Overlay Communications
![Page 15: The CCSDS Cislunar Communications Architecture Keith Scott The MITRE Corporation CCSDS Meeting January 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfed1a28abf838cb9021/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Terrestrial Data Transport
• What support is needed in the ground infrastructure to support IP-based missions?
• Spacecraft built by AgencyA that uses IP networking using AgencyB’s ground station– Several options, depending on ground station capabilities and
inter-agency connectivity characteristics• Space Link Extensions return-all-frames and return-channel-frames
services being prototyped now by NASA, ESA, JAXA
• Direct routed IP from the ground station– What changes would this require at ground stations?– What are the constraints on inter-agency connections (security, QoS)?
• Tunnel IP datagrams from ground station to mission operations– What changes would this require at ground stations?– What are the constraints on inter-agency connections (security, QoS)?

Conclusions
• A network layer unifies possibly heterogeneous data links
• Automated data forwarding simplifies operations over what we do now or might do using current protocols
• An IP-based system leverages commercial technologies and can leverage the terrestrial infrastructure
• An IP-based infrastructure can handle the range of data types we currently envision and has shown flexibility in the past
• The technical issues with an IP infrastructure in space are addressable
• It’s possible to mix-and-match new routing components alongside traditional operations in the same spacecraft and terrestrial systems

Status
• Green book (architecture) done and about to be submitted to CESG for review (final editing completed last week)
• Starting first Recommendation dealing with ‘simple’ IP-based spacecraft operations– Focus on terrestrial interoperability
