FOREWORD
This document is a technical Report for use in developing Space Link Extension (SLE)
service documentation and has been prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data
Systems (CCSDS). The Cross Support Concept described herein is intended for spacecraft-
to-ground data communication within missions that are cross-supported between Agencies of
the CCSDS.
This Report establishes a common framework and provides a common basis for the
development of SLE services. It allows the development of compatible derived Standards for
the SLE services that are within their cognizance. Derived Agency Standards may
implement only a subset of the optional features allowed by the Cross Support
Recommendations.
Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion, or
modification to this document may occur. This Report is therefore subject to CCSDS
document management and change control procedures, which are defined in Reference [1].
