CCSDS and ECSS PUS Training: Practical Implementation

30+ engineers trained in 3 EU countries. Public, private, on-premises or live online.

Full-day Training Workshop. Space Data Communication, CCSDS and PUS Protocols, Integration and Validation Aspects.

Synopsis:

This training focuses on the practical implementation of CCSDS and PUS standards. Packet formats are easy to understand based on the standards – you’ll get an overview of the essential parts. However, the integration, verification, and operational aspects are more important. Following the overview of the key concepts like TM/TC and APID, you will get deep insight into practical topics like integration of CCSDS/PUS protocols into your software, designing a whole communication chain for your mission and payload, communication scenarios, which PUS services to choose, paring requests and reports, a how to test communication so that everything is covered, and much more.

Two parts (included in price):

• A full-day practical training workshop (on-premises or live online)
• A week after the training: 3 hours of Q&A per team, live online

Practical outputs:

• Data Communication Architecture document
• Verification and Validation Plan for the Communication
• Mix of experience from different Space missions
• Communication source code to kick-off your prototyping

12G has trained tens of engineers in three different EU countries. We provide 3 hours of live online consulting per team one week after the training (included in the training price) - after the engineers connect the training content with their specific mission architectures.
