SEA Area

OVERVIEW - SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AREA (SEA)

Welcome to the Systems Engineering Area (SEA) Collaborative Work Environment.

The System Engineering Area (SEA) supports the work of the CCSDS by providing :
- Overall architecture for space mission communications, operations, and cross-support
- Coordination and collaboration with the other areas about architectural choices and options
- Supporting the CESG in evaluating consistency of all area programs of work with the defined architecture
- Creating such working groups and BoFs as are required to progress the work of CCSDS

SEA-IA

OVERVIEW - INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE WORKING GROUP (SEA-IA)

Welcome to the Information Architecture Working Group Collaborative Work Environment.  The Information Architecture Working Group (SEA-IA) falls under the Systems Engineering (SEA) Areas of the CCSDS. 
 
In the absence of information system standards for interoperability and cross-support we have seen systems be developed that do not allow the exchange of information across ground and flight systems and across agency data systems.
The focus of this working group is to define a reference Space Information Architecture that encompasses the capture, management and exchange of data for both flight and ground environments across the operational mission lifecycle.   The includes standard functional components for information management, definition of standard interfaces for information management, standards in information representation (data structuring and packaging mechanisms) and standard definitions of information processes (how the users and the systems interact).

This includes defining how existing standards fit into an overall reference architecture. The reference architecture should encompass informatics aspects of space data systems and cover all problem areas associated with space data systems (such as organizational, functional, operational and cross support issues). This working group has been delegated responsibility for elaborating the Information Architecture for the Information Viewpoint in the System Architecture being developed in the SAWG. The products of this working group will be integrated into the Reference Architecture for Space Data Systems (RASDS).

SEA-SEC

OVERVIEW - SECURITY WORKING GROUP (SEA-SEC)

Welcome to the Security Working Group Collaborative Work Environment.  The Security Working Group (SEA-SEC) falls under the Systems Engineering (SEA) Areas of the CCSDS. 
 
CCSDS develops communications and mission operation standards that support inter and intra agency operations and cross support. CCSDS standards include elements of flight and ground systems that are developed and operated by different agencies and organizations.

Over the years, ubiquitous network connectivity among principal investigators and mission operations has become the norm, which makes mission operations more dangerous than in the past when operations were carried out over closed, mission-only networks.  The security risks to both spacecraft and ground systems have increased to the point where CCSDS must adopt existing or develop (as necessary) Information Security standards in order to protect both flight and ground mission critical resources and protect sensitive mission information.

As a result, a mission threat statement for CCSDS should be developed in order to allow mission planners to better understand the threats that they should plan to counter via security requirements. CCSDS also requires a Security Architecture as part of its overall System Architecture. CCSDS must promote secure interoperability for space missions.  CCSDS also requires Information Security standards as part of, or as an accompaniment to its communications and mission operations standards.

SEA-SANA

OVERVIEW - SANA WORKING GROUP (SEA-SANA)

Welcome to the SEA SANA WG Collaborative Work Environment.  The SEA SANA WG (SEA-SANA) falls under the Systems Engineering (SEA) Areas of the CCSDS. 
 
The core registrar for the CMC’s activities is the SANA. Many space mission protocols require that someone keep track of key protocol numbering assignments that were added after the protocol came out. Typical examples of the kinds of registries needed are for Spacecraft IDs, protocol version numbers, reserved APIDs and SFDU Control Authorities. The SANA provides this key configuration management service for CCSDS. The CMC approves the organization that will act as the SANA. Its public interface is focused through web-based services provided by the Secretariat.

At present the SANA exists only as a concept.  There are many different data objects that need to be globally accessible within the CCSDS in order to support mission planning and operations and the activities of CCSDS itself. A “Data Object”, within this context, is defined as any known or imagined participant in mission communications, planning, and operations or trajectory propagation, tracking, attitude determination and orbit determination.

SEA-D-DOR

OVERVIEW - DELTA-DOR WORKING GROUP (SEA-D-DOR)

Welcome to the Delta-DOR Working Group Collaborative Work Environment.  The Delta-DOR Working Group (SEA-D-DOR) falls under the Systems Engineering (SEA) Areas of the CCSDS. 

This working group is intended to provide a forum for developing an integrated approach for delta differential one way ranging (D-DOR) end to end services.
- Develop detailed requirements for delta differential one-way ranging (Delta-DOR) service
- Coordinate work in other WGs (SIS/Ranging, CSS/CSTS, MOIMS/Nav)
- Develop integrated vision of service and interoperability points
- Develop any over-arching documents, as needed

SEA-TIME

OVERVIEW - TIME CODE FORMATS WORKING GROUP (SEA-TIME)

Welcome to the Time Code Formats Working Group Collaborative Work Environment.  The Time Code Formats Working Group (SEA-TIME) falls under the Systems Engineering (SEA) Areas of the CCSDS. 

The Time Code Working Group will attempt to make the CCSDS unsegmented Time Code Format more flexible as was originally intended by the CCSDS. Missions have requested more flexibility in both the seconds and subseconds portions of the unsegmented time code.
