The author has reimplemented the CCSDS protocol stack, a set of standards used for satellite communication since the 1980s, in OCaml. This implementation allows for testing and direct interaction with the encodings in a web browser. The CCSDS protocols are designed to be simple and efficient, suitable for spacecraft with limited resources. The project details the structure of Space Packets and Transfer Frames, as well as security and reliability mechanisms like SDLS and COP-1. AI
