ISO 18446:2013

ISO 18446:2013 specifies extensions to the API needed for support of the Forward Space Packet Service defined in CCSDS 912.3-B-1. ISO 18446:2013 defines extensions to the SLE API in terms of: the FSP-specific functionality provided by API components; the FSP-specific interfaces provided by API components; and the externally visible behavior associated with the FSP interfaces exported by the components. It does not specify: individual implementations or products; the internal design of the components; and the technology used for communications. ISO 18446:2013 defines only interfaces and behavior that must be provided by implementations supporting the Forward Space Packet service in addition to the specification in ISO/IEC 14882.
