Welcome to CCSDS.org
Founded in 1982 by the
major space agencies of the world, the CCSDS is a
multi-national forum for the development of communications and data systems standards for spaceflight.
Today, leading space communications experts from 27 nations collaborate in developing the most well-engineered space communications and data handling
standards in the world.
The goal is to enhance governmental and commercial interoperability and cross-support, while also reducing risk, development time and project costs.
More than 800 space
missions have chosen to fly with CCSDS-developed
standards, and the number continues to grow.
