CCSDS Reference Architecture
- Approach: Developed as a pair of documents using the RASDS reference architecture methodology. The lower layers (1-4, and some 7) are covered by the SCCS-ARD/ADD, and include the standards developed by the CSS, SLS, SIS, and SEA Areas. The upper layers (5-7 and applications) are covered by the ASL-ADD, and include the standards developed by the MOIMS and SOIS Areas.
- Describe how all of the CCSDS application standards fit together with other communications standards, the map of the territory
- Define and refine necessary interfaces and ontology terms
- Update and revise these documents, as needed, with direct support from CSS, SLS, SIS, SEA, SOIS, and MOIMS area expert.
