SpaceWire Standard
SpaceWire is a standard for high-speed links and networks for use aboard spacecraft, easing the interconnection of:
- sensors
- mass-memories
- processing units, and
- downlink telemetry sub-systems.
SpaceWire is being widely used on many space missions
Application information is sent along a SpaceWire link in discrete packets. Control and time information can also be sent along SpaceWire links.
SpaceWire is defined in the European Cooperation for Space Standardization ECSS-E-ST-50-12C standard.
