IEEE 1355/SpaceWire Interworking with IEEE for Space Craft
( wng-ieee1355-ieee80211-interworking-spacecraft.ppt)
IEEE 1355/SpaceWire is an evolving standard for Space Craft use
Several benefits to creating “SpaceWireless”
Scenarios include:
Wireless Data Handling
Integration and Test
Wireless Sensor Networks
Harness Reduction
Smart Sensors/Instruments (on board)
Planetary Science Instruments (external)
Microprobes
Satellite Swarms
IEEE identified as one of the better wireless standards

Requirements for Taking Into Space
( wng-sfu-space.ppt)
It is increasingly believed that using COTS (Commercial Orbital Transportation Services) communications standards may lead to more capable and flexible space systems, at reduced development costs.
Adopting IEEE and other IEEE standards could enhance future industrial participation in spaceflight, while providing a standard upgrade path for future technologies and standards.
However, for IEEE n to be a good candidate standard for planetary exploration, certain features are required. These features, based on results from analogue planetary exploration, and expected requirements in future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, are described.
