Marc Blanchet · SpaceOps 2012 Conference · 2012
The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS) produces space telecommunications protocols specifications.CCSDS has recently created a new entity, named the Space Assigned Numbers Authority (SANA), to create and manage registries for the protocols assignments of the space protocols developed within CCSDS and space agencies.To help the community to get all registries in a single place, SANA also keeps an in-synced copy of registries managed by some related organizations such as the Spacecraft Identifiers and the Control Authorities registries.This paper presents SANA, the registries it manages on behalf of CCSDS, the space agencies and the space telecommunications community, the process to request a new registry, to update the registries and the policies behind.Examples of registries on SANA (http://sanaregistry.org) site include:
