PyCCSDS

PyCCSDS is a library to read a data packet coming from a space mission that follows the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) standard

Current version 0.1.0

[[TOC]]

Installation

python3 -m pip install Python-CCSDS

Usage

from PyCCSDS.ccsds import CCSDS

dat = CCSDS('BepiColombo',packet)

wehre packet is a string with the HEX rappresentation of the pachet

Limitation

Data Structure

The CCSDS Header is composed by two blocks:

• the Source Packet Header
• the Packet Data Field

The first one il long 48 bits the second one has a varble dimension and structure depending by the type and the content of the packet. in Figure 1 is reported the structure for a Telemetry Packet.

The structure of the CCSDS class follow the structure of the packet header.
