Abstract

The authors discuss the general form of the information system to be implemented to provide the broad and flexible services required to support the diverse needs of the US Space Station. Emphasis is placed on the interfaces to the SSIS (Space Station Information System) and major interfaces within the SSIS. A central theme of the SSIS is the use of international standards, where appropriate and available. These standards include those of the International Organization for Standards (ISO), the Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT), and the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). The specific standards selected or under consideration are enumerated. The effect of the selections on the interfaces visible to users of the SSIS are described, and a status report on the progress of official adoption of the standards is presented
