CCSDS 120.1-G-1, IMAGE DATA COMPRESSION (GREEN BOOK). This report presents a summary of the key operational concepts and rationale which underlie the requirements for the CCSDS Recommended Standard, Image Data Compression (reference [1]). Supporting performance information along with illustrations are also included. This report provides a broad tutorial overview of the CCSDS Image Data Compression algorithm and is aimed at helping first-time readers to understand the Recommended Standard.

CCSDS 131.0-B-1, TM SYNCHRONIZATION AND CHANNEL CODING (BLUE BOOK). This document is a technical Recommendation for use in developing synchronization and channel coding systems and has been prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). The synchronization and channel coding concept described herein is intended for missions that are cross-supported between Agencies of the CCSDS.

CCSDS 230.1-G-1, TC SYNCHRONIZATION AND CHANNEL CODING - SUMMARY OF CONCEPT AND RATIONALE, INFORMATIONAL REPORT (GREEN BOOK). The procedures and data formats developed for the TC Synchronization and Channel Coding are designed for space communications links. Typically, the links are used to carry telecommand data from ground elements to spacecraft, and the ‘TC’ in the name originates from this use. However, the TC Synchronization and Channel Coding can also be applied to links between spacecraft and to links carrying non-telecommand data. The procedures and data formats of the TC Synchronization and Channel Coding are designed with reliability and efficiency as primary considerations. The results reflect the consensus of experts from many space agencies. This document provides supporting and descriptive material only: it is not part of the Recommended Standard. In the event of any conflict between the TC Synchronization and Channel Coding Recommended Standard (reference [2]) and the material presented in this report, the Recommended Standard (reference [2]) shall prevail.

CCSDS 231.0-B-1, TC SYNCHRONIZATION AND CHANNEL CODING (BLUE BOOK). The purpose of this Recommendation is to specify synchronization and channel coding schemes used with the Telecommand (TC) Space Data Link Protocol [1]. These schemes are to be used over ground-to-space or space-to-space communications links by space missions.

CCSDS 232.1-B-1, COMMUNICATIONS OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS PROCEDURE (BLUE BOOK). This document is a technical Recommendation for use in developing flight and ground systems for space missions and has been prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). The Communications Operation Procedure-1 (COP-1) described herein is intended for missions that are cross-supported between Agencies of the CCSDS. This Recommendation specifies an automatic retransmission procedure to be used by space missions to transfer space application data over a ground-to-space or space-to-space communications link. This Recommendation has been developed from an existing CCSDS Recommendation that specifies Command Operation Procedure-1 (reference [B2]), which defines essentially the same procedure but in a slightly different context.

CCSDS 401.0-B17, CCSDS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RADIO FREQUENCY AND MODULATION SYSTEMS. EARTH STATIONS AND SPACECRAFT (JUL 2006)., This document, which is a set of technical Recommendations prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), is intended for use by participating space Agencies in their development of Radio Frequency and Modulation systems for Earth stations and spacecraft.

CCSDS 412.0-G-1, RADIO FREQUENCY AND MODULATION SYSTEMS, SPACECRAFT-EARTH STATION COMPATIBILITY TEST PROCEDURES (GREEN BOOK). Recommendation 3.5.1 of Radio Frequency and Modulation Systems—Part 1: Earth Stations and Spacecraft, CCSDS 401.0-B (reference [1]), proposes a minimum set of S/C-earth station tests required to ensure compatibility for the cross support of one Agency’s spacecraft by another Agency’s earth stations. In order to have a common understanding and to offer a comparable basis for these tests, this Compatibility Test Procedures Report was written.

CCSDS 413.0-G-1, BANDWIDTH-EFFICIENT MODULATIONS SUMMARY OF DEFINITION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND PERFORMANCE (GREEN BOOK). This Green Book provides the background information for CCSDS recommendations 401(2.4.17A), 401(2.4.17B) and 401(2.4.18) addressing the use of bandwidth efficient modulations for spacecraft telemetry which were approved by the Management Council in June 2001. This document provides a technical specification for the modulation techniques approved in the above mentioned recommendations, together with a description of their main performance characteristics for the applications covered by the recommendations. All figures are simulations unless noted otherwise.

CCSDS 500.0-G-2, NAVIGATION DATA - DEFINITIONS AND CONVENTIONS, INFORMATIONAL REPORT (GREEN BOOK). This Report contains technical material to supplement the CCSDS Recommended Standards for the standardization of spacecraft navigation data generated by CCSDS Member Agencies. The topics covered herein include radiometric data content, spacecraft ephemeris, planetary ephemeris, tracking station locations, coordinate systems, and attitude data. This Report deals explicitly with the technical definitions and conventions associated with inter-Agency cross-support situations involving the transfer of ephemeris, tracking, and attitude data. This version of the Green Book contains expanded material regarding spacecraft attitude data and radiometric tracking data. Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion or modification to this Report may occur. This Report is therefore subject to CCSDS document management and change control procedures. Current versions of CCSDS documents are maintained at the CCSDS Web site: http://www.ccsds.org/ccsds/ Questions relative to the contents or status of this document should be addressed to the CCSDS Secretariat.

CCSDS 720.2-G-3,CCSDS FILE DELIVERY PROTOCOL (CFDP) - PART 2 IMPLEMENTERS GUIDE (GREEN BOOK). This report is an adjunct document to the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Recommended Standard for File Delivery Protocol (reference [1]). It contains material which will be helpful in understanding the primary document, and which will assist decision makers and implementers in evaluating the applicability of the protocol to mission needs and in making

CCSDS 910.2-G-1., STANDARD TERMINOLOGY,CONVENTIONS, AND METHODOLOGY (TCM) FOR DEFINING DATA SERVICES (GREEN BOOK). The Standard Terminology, Conventions, and Methodology (TCM) for Defining Data Services is a summary of, and cross-reference to, internationally-adopted standards for defining data services. This Report is the result of a study of different data service definition conventions conducted in support of the definition of CCSDS Space Link Extension services. However, the material contained herein is not limited to Space Link Extension services and may be applicable to other data service definition activities of CCSDS and its member Agencies. Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion, or modification of this document may occur. This Report is therefore subject to CCSDS document management and change control procedures which are defined in reference [1].
