RANGE COMMANDER’S COUNCIL (RCC) TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TIMING GROUP (TTG) UPDATE ON TM OVER IP STANDARD DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The RCC TTG initiated task TT-49 to generate a standard for the transport of serial streaming telemetry (TM) over the Internet Protocol (IP). An ad hoc committee was activated comprised of Range and vendor participation to develop this standard. This paper will address the progress of the standard, the use of commercial standards, and the benefits to the ranges. The early meetings focused on developing the packet structure; the preliminary results will be presented along with the latest status on the RCC approval cycle.
