Telecommand Summary of Concept and Rationale
. Green Book. Issue 6. January 1987.
In order to establish a common framework within which the Agencies may develop standardized telecommand services, the CCSDS advocates adoption of a layered systems architecture. Within this approach, specific layers of service (including their operational protocol and data structuring techniques) may be selected for implementation according to mission requirements. The current layered set of CCSDS telecommand Recommendations was developed to match the conventional free-flying mission environment, as characterized by the transmission of command data at relatively low uplink data rates to spacecraft of moderate complexity. This Report summarizes the principal concepts associated with the CCSDS recommended space mission telecommanding architecture.

. Blue Book. Issue 1. January 2002.
The Recommendation identified above defines the ISO Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS). An OAIS is an archive, consisting of an organization of people and systems, that has accepted the responsibility to preserve information and make it available for a Designated Community. It meets a set of such responsibilities as defined in this document and this allows an OAIS archive to be distinguished from other uses of the term ‘archive’. The model provides a framework for the understanding and increased awareness of archival concepts needed for long-term digital information preservation and access, and for describing and comparing architectures and operations of existing and future archives. It also guides the identification and production of OAIS related standards.

Producer-Archive Interface Methodology Abstract Standard
. Blue Book. Issue 1. May 2004.
This Recommendation identifies, defines, and provides structure to the relationships and interactions between an information Producer and an Archive. This Recommendation defines the methodology for the structure of actions that are required from the initial time of contact between the Producer and the Archive until the objects of information are received and validated by the Archive. These actions cover the first stage of the Ingest Process as defined in the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model. This Recommendation describes parts of the functional entities Administration (‘Negotiate Submission Agreement’) and Ingest (‘Receive Submission’ and ‘Quality Assurance’).

XML Telemetric and Command Exchange (XTCE)
. Green Book. Issue 1. July 2006.
This CCSDS Informational Report presents a set of concepts and tutorial on the XML Telemetric and Command Exchange (XTCE). XTCE is an XML based format aim at facilitating the exchange of spacecraft telemetry and command databases between different organizations and systems during any mission phase. Such a non-proprietary format avoids the need for customized import/export tools, and the validation and new implementation of mission databases, which are often error-prone. The scope of XTCE is limited to the exchange of satellite telemetry and commanding databases. XTCE can be used to exchange a database between spacecraft manufacturers, instrument manufacturers, and different systems of the ground segment. It can also be used as an exchange mechanism between different development teams or between missions, which enhances database re-use.

XML Formatted Data Unit (XFDU) Structure and Construction Rules
. Blue Book. Issue 1. September 2008.
This Recommended Standard defines a technique for the packaging of data and metadata, including software, into a single package (e.g., file or message) to facilitate information transfer and archiving. It provides a detailed specification of core packaging structures and mechanisms that meet current CCSDS agency requirements and that augment the current CCSDS packaging and language Recommended Standards to accommodate the current computing environment and meet evolving requirements. This Recommended Standards leverages the wide community acceptance and usage of XML technologies by making the packaging manifest an XML document defined by the XML Schema specified in the document.
