Overview

This standard defines the concept for an OBCP system, identifying the on-board functionality for OBCP execution and the ground functionality for OBCP preparation and subsequent control. This standard also defines the development lifecycle for OBCPs and identifies the relationships of this lifecycle with the overall space system, and in particular with the other elements of the on-board software. This standard assumes that missions implementing OBCPs are also compliant with ECSS-E-70-41, since a number of services contained therein are invoked in support of the operation of OBCPs and their interaction with the ground. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00. This document (EN 16603-70-01:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 "Aerospace" the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). This document has specifically been prepared for dealing with space systems and therefore take precedence over any European standards since it has the same scope but a larger scope of application (for example aerospace). The responsible German standardization body is Working Committee NA 131-10-01 AA "Interoperabilität von Informations-, Kommunikations- und Navigationssystemen" ("Interoperability of information, communication and navigation systems") at the DIN Standards Committee Aerospace (NL).
