International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / CCSDS Space Link Extension (SLE) Services enable the ground segment assets of space
agencies to interoperate, allowing for ground stations and space data users to interact without
the need for ad hoc, complicated gateways designed specifically for each new mission. Their
goal is to reduce the development, management, and operational costs of providing cross
support between space organizations for exchange of tracking, telemetry, and command
(TT&C) data. SLE services are actively supporting over a dozen spacecraft, with many more
planned over the next few years.
This paper first presents an overview of the underlying SLE architecture, as defined in the
SLE Reference Model. The SLE data transfer services, which move data between mission
facilities and ground stations are defined, along with the management services that enable
missions to make requests for ground station services. Next, up-to-date status of the testing,
prototyping, and implementation of SLE services over the past few years is presented, as well
as plans for adoption of SLE services by a number of space networks and space mission
organizations. Finally, efforts to adapt SLE services to support legacy missions are briefly
described.
