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.
MOSA-IF-S-001, Rev. A Standardized bus-to-payload command and data handling (C&DH) interface.
Agile User Terminal Multi-vendor interoperability of legacy SATCOM terminals and their networks across a variety of legacy SATCOM architectures.
Kicking Off Now Committee Description/Objective
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 The Space-to-Gateway Committee will develop communication standards to enable multi-vendor interoperability of satellites with ground gateways and networks across a hybrid DoD and commercial architecture.
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.
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.
Coming Soon COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE
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.
Secure Space Networking This committee will investigate innovative and novel approaches for how space communications should be securely conducted.  Space communications across space vehicles (cross-link), communications within space system clusters (one mission, multiple space vehicles) will be considered.  Additionally, communications between the space vehicle(s) and ground will be included and will assume NSA approved Type-1 cryptographic capabilities.
Grapple 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.
Fiducial Markers This committee will investigate and develop a standard for space system fiducial markers that will facilitate faster on-orbit servicing by a wider swath of service providers.
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.
