Mission Operations and Information Management Services Area

The objective of the Mission Operations and Information Management Services (MOIMS) Area is to address all of the flight execution phase applications that are required to operate the spacecraft and its ground system in response to mission objectives, and their associated detailed information management standards and processes. The focus of this Area is primarily on the “mission operations” functions that occur on a timescale driven by the flight path of the space vehicle. In many cases a dedicated community conducts these mission operations, while “mission utilization” occurs on a timescale that is convenient for users and is often conducted by a separate community. The MOIMS Area ensures that application standards exist which facilitate the smooth transition of space mission information between the “mission operations” systems and the “mission utilization” systems.

Mission Operations Services Concept . Green Book. Issue 2. August 2006.
This CCSDS Report presents a set of concepts, reference architecture, and service framework for spacecraft monitoring and control. The ability to standardize the interfaces for Spacecraft Monitoring and Control (SM&C) by means of a service oriented architecture will allow significant saving in the development of the flight components and the ground segment of future space missions. In fact, it will be possible to use standardised SM&C infrastructure systems to seamlessly transfer data across systems, and to adopt commercial-off-the-shelf applications for monitoring and control purposes.

Standard Formatted Data Units—Referencing Environment . Blue Book. Issue 1. May 1997.
This Recommendation defines multiple standard "file pointer" mechanisms that can be embedded into other data structures for the purpose of identifying and annotating a collection of files. It provides several transportable directory/file naming functionalities that may be used for data exchange with disks, tapes, and networks. The form of these "file pointer" mechanisms is based on the Parameter Value Language (PVL) Recommendation (CCSDS 641.0-B-1). They may be used with the CCSDS data packaging standard known as Standard Formatted Data Units (CCSDS 620.0-B-2), or they may be used independently.This document has been reconfirmed by the CCSDS management Council through March 2008.

Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) . 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.
