This document has been approved for publication by the Management
Council of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) and
represents the consensus technical agreement of the participating CCSDS
Member Agencies. The procedure for review and authorization of CCSDS
Recommendations is detailed in reference \[1\], and the record of Agency
participation in the authorization of this document can be obtained from
the CCSDS Secretariat at the address below.

This Recommendation is published and maintained by:

**STATEMENT OF INTENT**

The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is an
organization officially established by the management of member space
Agencies. The Committee meets periodically to address data systems
problems that are common to all participants, and to formulate sound
technical solutions to these problems. Inasmuch as participation in the
CCSDS is completely voluntary, the results of Committee actions are
termed **RECOMMENDATIONS** and are not considered binding on any Agency.

This RECOMMENDATION is issued by, and represents the consensus of, the
CCSDS Plenary body. Agency endorsement of this RECOMMENDATION is
entirely voluntary. Endorsement, however, indicates the following
understandings:

o Whenever an Agency establishes a CCSDS-related STANDARD, this STANDARD
will be in accord with the relevant RECOMMENDATION. Establishing such a
STANDARD does not preclude other provisions which an Agency may develop.

o Whenever an Agency establishes a CCSDS-related STANDARD, the Agency
will provide other CCSDS member Agencies with the following information:

-- The STANDARD itself.

-- The anticipated date of initial operational capability.

-- The anticipated duration of operational service.

o Specific service arrangements shall be made via memoranda of
agreement. Neither this RECOMMENDATION nor any ensuing STANDARD is a
substitute for a memorandum of agreement.

No later than five years from its date of issuance, this Recommendation
will be reviewed by the CCSDS to determine whether it should: (1) remain
in effect without change; (2) be changed to reflect the impact of new
technologies, new requirements, or new directions; or (3) be retired or
canceled

In those instances when a new version of a RECOMMENDATION is issued,
existing CCSDS-related Agency standards and implementations are not
negated or deemed to be non-CCSDS compatible. It is the responsibility
of each Agency to determine when such standards or implementations are
to be modified. Each Agency is, however, strongly encouraged to direct
planning for its new standards and implementations towards the later
version of the Recommendation.

FOREWORD

This document is a procedural Recommendation that establishes control
procedures for Spacecraft Identification (SCID) codes. As such, it
defines the procedure governing assignment, use, relinquishment, and
management of SCIDs.

To make the most efficient use of the available identification (ID)
space in the several CCSDS-recommended data structures that contain a
SCID field, all CCSDS-compatible missions will be assigned SCIDs by a
single central authority, the World Data Center for Satellite
Information (WDC SI), located at the Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland, USA.

As specified in this Recommendation, WDC SI will accept only requests
from designated Agency Representatives and only when received on
approved Request Forms.

This Recommendation also provides:

-- a list of the CCSDS Agencies\' Representatives as of the date of this
document;

-- a form for requesting and relinquishing SCIDs.

Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion,
deletion or modification to this Recommendation may occur. This
Recommendation is therefore subject to CCSDS document management and
change control procedures which are defined in reference \[1\]. Current
versions of CCSDS documents are maintained at the CCSDS Web site:

http://www.ccsds.org/

Questions relating to the contents or status of this Recommendation
should be addressed to the CCSDS Secretariat at the address on page i.

# INTRODUCTION

## Purpose

This Recommendation establishes the procedures governing CCSDS
Spacecraft Identification (SCID) field codes which are contained in the
data unit formats specified in references \[2\], \[3\], and \[4\]. As
such it addresses the requesting, assigning, using, relinquishing, and
managing of SCIDs.

The purpose of the CCSDS SCID is to serve as a mechanism for the
identification of:

-- a simple spacecraft having only one logical space-ground link; or

-- an association between space-based and ground-based application
processes with complex spacecraft having more than one logical
space-ground link. Therefore, a single spacecraft may be assigned more
that one SCID.

This identification may be used only throughout a spacecraft's active
phases, e.g., simulations, prelaunch testing, and in-orbit operations.
As quickly as practical after reception of telemetry data, the SCID
should be replaced with a globally unique, unambiguous, permanent, and
SCID-independent label for the spacecraft and/or payload data set(s).
Thereafter, access to and identification of these data sets shall be by
means of this label rather than the SCID field described in this
document.

These procedures are intended to eliminate the possibility that data
from any given CCSDS-compatible vehicle will be falsely interpreted as
being from another CCSDS-compatible vehicle during the periods of
simulation, testing, or mission operations. Since the data structure
(synchronization code and virtual channel data unit/transfer
frame/telecommand frame) are common to many missions, misinterpretation
of the identity of space vehicle or ground-based simulator assemblies is
possible unless procedures are developed and followed to identify
uniquely each vehicle or assembly during its active phases. Because the
SCID field is only eight or ten bits long for virtual channel data units
and transfer frames respectively, the SCID is not intended to provide
unique identification for all times. It is inevitable that the SCIDs
will have to be reused; however, at any one time, the number of vehicles
under simulation, test, or active operational control is not anticipated
to exceed the available numbering domains.

As used throughout this document, the term SCID shall be construed to be
limited in scope to the CCSDS-defined data fields. Other
non--CCSDS-compatible data structures may also use this term; however,
this document does not apply to the assignment and use of identification
codes for non--CCSDS-compatible data structures. In such cases the
potential for misinterpretation is negligible because of differences in
the overall data structures.

## Background

SCID codes appear in many of the CCSDS-recommended data structures used
for the space-ground links and other purposes. Typical of the
space-ground data structures that incorporate the SCID are:

-- the Conventional Mission Telemetry Frame (reference \[3\]);

-- the Conventional Mission Telecommand Transfer Frame (reference
\[2\]);

-- the Advanced Orbiting Systems Virtual Channel Data Unit (reference
\[4\]).

Inasmuch as there are numerous technical and administrative
considerations attendant to SCID management and control, i.e.,
requesting, assigning, using, and relinquishing SCIDs, this document
hereby establishes procedures and guidance for SCID management and
control.

## Global Spacecraft Identifier (GSCID)

The GSCID is defined to be the concatenation of the 2-bit Version Number
(VN) and the Spacecraft Identifier (SCID). Thus,

GSCID = VN **.** SCID

> Where "**.**" refers to the concatenation operator.

The valid range of the currently defined VN field is shown in table 1-1.

The CCSDS Recommendations on telemetry and telecommand protocols
(references \[2\], \[3\], and \[4\]) provide a mechanism for
establishing an ASSOCIATION (either temporary or permanent) between
space-based application process(es) and corresponding ground-based
application process(es).

The data streams transmitted between space and ground processes will
contain IDENTIFIERS which will specify the relevant association. These
identifiers are MANAGED parameters (i.e., the specific association
implied by a given identifier must have been previously established).
The utilization of the SCID field on a global scale necessitates its
concatenation with other fields in the References and, therefore, the
name Global SCID or GSCID.

## Applicability

This Recommendation applies to all spacecraft that are compatible with
CCSDS protocols contained in those documents listed in the References
section of this Recommendation.

## REFERENCEs

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in
this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of
publication, the editions indicated were valid. All documents are

# SCID CODE ASSIGNMENT CONTROL PROCEDURES

## CCSDS SCID Management System Duties and Responsibilities

CCSDS SCID assignment and management, on an international basis, must be
viewed as a cooperative effort among the CCSDS Agencies, with each
constituent acting as agent for the users under its cognizance. The
management system comprises four elements:

### CCSDS Secretariat shall

-- serve as the focal point for the resolution of any issues not
adequately covered by these procedures;

-- request that CCSDS Member Agencies appoint, maintain, and replace as
necessary an official Agency Representative (AR) to handle all SCID
requests from that Agency.

### CCSDS Head of Delegation shall

-- provide the CCSDS Secretariat and the World Data Center for Satellite
Information (WDC SI) with the name and address of the person authorized
to be the Agency Representative (AR) as needed to keep this information
current.

NOTE -- A list of ARs as of the date of this Recommendation is included
as Annex A.

### Agency Representative (AR) shall

-- submit SCID requests in accordance with the provisions of this
Recommendation;

-- interact directly with WDC SI with regard to any issues relating to a
specific SCID assignment request;

-- monitor the life of those CCSDS missions within his/her Agency and
relinquish all SCIDs at the earliest practical time, which shall not in
any event be longer than two months after receipt of the last expected
telemetry signal;

-- inform the applicable Agency personnel of any relevant actions (i.e.,
SCID assignment, relinquishment) taken by WDC SI relating to that
Agency.

### World Data Center for Satellite Information shall

-- serve as the assignment manager;

-- accept, from authorized ARs, requests for SCID assignments;

-- review and log SCID assignment requests;

-- assign one or more SCIDs in response to the request and notify the
appropriate AR of the assignment(s);

-- interact directly with the appropriate AR in matters dealing with a
particular SCID assignment request;

-- maintain complete and independent catalogs of SCID assignments for
each version number and periodically provide the catalog of currently
assigned SCIDs to the CCSDS Secretariat, CCSDS Heads of Delegation, and
Member/Observing Agency ARs;

-- work with the respective ARs to recover all SCIDs, corresponding to
those spacecraft whose operational phases have been completed, for
subsequent reassignment.

## SCID Assignment Request Procedures

### All SCID Assignment Requests by an Agency shall be submitted by the designated AR. {#all-scid-assignment-requests-by-an-agency-shall-be-submitted-by-the-designated-ar. .Paragraph-3}

### All SCID Assignment Requests shall be submitted on the approved request form as contained in Annex B. {#all-scid-assignment-requests-shall-be-submitted-on-the-approved-request-form-as-contained-in-annex-b. .Paragraph-3}

### A separate form shall be used for each SCID requested. {#a-separate-form-shall-be-used-for-each-scid-requested. .Paragraph-3}

### Each SCID Code Assignment shall be globally unique during its assignment period. {#each-scid-code-assignment-shall-be-globally-unique-during-its-assignment-period. .Paragraph-3}

### SCID Code Assignments will be made on a spacecraft-by-spacecraft basis. User requests for reservation of a sequence of ID numbers for unspecified spacecraft will not be accepted. However, multiple SCIDs may be assigned for those missions which have multiple spacecraft or which require separate designations for protoflight spacecraft or simulations. {#scid-code-assignments-will-be-made-on-a-spacecraft-by-spacecraft-basis.-user-requests-for-reservation-of-a-sequence-of-id-numbers-for-unspecified-spacecraft-will-not-be-accepted.-however-multiple-scids-may-be-assigned-for-those-missions-which-have-multiple-spacecraft-or-which-require-separate-designations-for-protoflight-spacecraft-or-simulations. .Paragraph-3}

### User requests for assignment of specific numerical codes will be accepted. However, the user should refer to the catalog of existing SCID assignments (see 2.1.4) to avoid requesting assignments that could result in duplication, and, therefore, denial of a request. {#user-requests-for-assignment-of-specific-numerical-codes-will-be-accepted.-however-the-user-should-refer-to-the-catalog-of-existing-scid-assignments-see-2.1.4-to-avoid-requesting-assignments-that-could-result-in-duplication-and-therefore-denial-of-a-request. .Paragraph-3}

### The SCIDs that are relinquished by an Agency will not be immediately reassigned. Rather, the relinquished SCIDs will be placed at the bottom of the stack of unassigned SCIDs, thereby maximizing the period of time before the relinquished number is reassigned. {#the-scids-that-are-relinquished-by-an-agency-will-not-be-immediately-reassigned.-rather-the-relinquished-scids-will-be-placed-at-the-bottom-of-the-stack-of-unassigned-scids-thereby-maximizing-the-period-of-time-before-the-relinquished-number-is-reassigned. .Paragraph-3}

## SCID Relinquishing Procedures

### The AR shall determine, in conjunction with the mission manager, exactly when the operational phase of a mission is complete and when the related SCIDs can be relinquished. {#the-ar-shall-determine-in-conjunction-with-the-mission-manager-exactly-when-the-operational-phase-of-a-mission-is-complete-and-when-the-related-scids-can-be-relinquished. .Paragraph-3}

### The AR will submit to WDC SI a copy of the original Assignment Request/ Relinquishment form with the section entitled, "RELINQUISHMENT AUTHORIZATION" completed and signed. If the original Assignment Request/Relinquishment form cannot be located, a simple letter relinquishing the SCID will be acceptable. {#the-ar-will-submit-to-wdc-si-a-copy-of-the-original-assignment-request-relinquishment-form-with-the-section-entitled-relinquishment-authorization-completed-and-signed.-if-the-original-assignment-requestrelinquishment-form-cannot-be-located-a-simple-letter-relinquishing-the-scid-will-be-acceptable. .Paragraph-3}

### WDC SI will place that SCID code number at the bottom of the stack of SCIDs available for assignment. {#wdc-si-will-place-that-scid-code-number-at-the-bottom-of-the-stack-of-scids-available-for-assignment. .Paragraph-3}
