International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A critical area for achieving interoperability between satellite control networks is the means chosen
to interconnect Satellite Operations Centers and remote antenna systems. The CCSDS Space Link
Extension (SLE) services are good candidates for this purpose, but national security space activities
have demanding requirements for accuracy of data transfer, controlled delay, and security, which
may not be fully achievable with the existing recommendations. The US Air Force developed a test
bed to evaluate the SLE protocols during live satellite contacts, for both data transfer and
management functions such as scheduling, configuring ground resources, and status reporting.
Performance was generally satisfactory, but several extensions were found to be necessary. The
SLE services provide a promising basis for use in ground stations to support both legacy Air Force
interfaces and newer standards based satellite control services.
