The SSMIS Alliance is pleased to announce the kick-off of six new committees.  For more information, please inquire at Contact Space Systems MOSA Interface Standards Alliance | MOSA (interoperabilityalliance.org) or the email address below.  Kick-off meetings are planned for early February.  Please keep an eye out for the schedule to be released shortly.

 

Current Working Committees Committee Description/Objective
UX/UI Common user interface for ground systems.
Space-to-Space (Crosslinks) The Space-to-Space Committee will develop space to space international standards to enable multi-vendor interoperability that can satisfy diverse standards, networks, constellations, and link types across a hybrid DoD and commercial space architecture.
Space-to-Gateway/Ground (Optical) The Space-to-Gateway Committee will recommend, tailor, or develop optical communication standards to enable multi-vendor interoperability of satellites with ground gateways and networks across a hybrid DoD and commercial architecture. The Space-to-Gateway Committee will recommend, tailor, or develop optical communication standards to enable multi-vendor interoperability of satellites with ground gateways and networks across a hybrid DoD and commercial architecture.
Highly Standardized SV/LV Interface This committee will define a set of standard SV/LV interfaces that are more specific than those in the existing NSSL Standard Interface Specification (SIS) but can be applied to a large portion of future SVs to be launched on NSSL-class LVs.
Test Requirements for Ground Systems (formerly SSC-S-024) This committee will completely rewrite the SSC-S-024 standard to align with current policies and best practices.
Free-Flyer Capture Fixtures This committee will investigate and develop a standard for space system grapple fixtures that will facilitate faster on-orbit servicing by a wider swath of service providers.
MBSE Modeling Standards This committee will develop standards that will enable interoperability across MBSE models for the purpose of enabling more comprehensive and visual identification of future Enterprise capability needs, gaps, and technology onramp opportunities.

 

Completed Committees COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in Space Systems  This committee will look at utilizing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) solution for space approved hardware.  The goal is to determine how TPM will improve user identification and authentication on certain devices.
MOSA-IF-S-002 Standardized bus-to-payload command and data handling (C&DH) interface.
Space-to-Gateway/Ground (RF) The Space-to-Gateway Committee will recommend, tailor, or develop RF communication standards to enable multi-vendor interoperability of satellites with ground gateways and networks across a hybrid DoD and commercial architecture.
Common Data Exchange This committee will adopt existing or develop new application-agnostic standards that enable the exchange of specific, applicable data types within the Space Domain.
