CCSDS Engineering Steering Group 2 VariousThe Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is an international organization supported by 39 space agencies and about 145 companies. CCSDS was formed in 1982 by the major space agencies of the world to provide a forum for solving common problems in the development and operations of space data systems. It has currently 137 active Publications for data and communications systems to promote interoperability and cross support among cooperating space agencies to reduce operations costs by sharing facilities and to reduce the cost to the various agencies of performing common data functions, by eliminating unjustified project-unique design and development. CCSDS also functions as an ISO Standards Committee, Technical Committee 20 Subcommmittee 13 (TC20=SC13), Space Data and Information Transfer Systems. In this capacity, CCSDS/ISO-TC20-SC13 represents 20 nations. In order to enable the next generation of spaceflight missions, CCSDS is aiming at technology evolution and innovation through the process of developing, validating, maintaining and promoting a body of unique space data systems standards, focusing on interoperability of space systems and cross-support between space organisations. In this paper we describe the different technical areas, its strategic goals and a general overview of the currently under development and future most innovative standards .
