Space Assigned Numbers Authority

The Space Assigned Numbers Authority (SANA) is the core registrar for the CCSDS Management Council’s activities. 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.
