Transport Layer Architecture and Standards

Abstract

The Space Technology Development and Prototyping effort developed and demonstrated a prototype proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) data transport layer and its sub-constellations to provide the eight capabilities outlined in the Department of Defense (DoD) Space Vision. The Space Development Agency (SDA) will rapidly develop and field the next generation space architecture that will enable the U.S. to deploy space capabilities that out-pace adversarial threats. This architecture is underpinned by common satellite buses, common interfaces between payloads and buses, and common data interfaces and standards. SDA will develop these standards for high power and lower power buses. SDA will develop standard interfaces across these two classes of satellite buses. SDA, in collaboration with other Space stakeholders, will develop communication standards and a ground architecture including user equipment that supports satellites utilizing these standardized products.
