The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) was founded in 1982 by the major space agencies under the common understanding that it is important to cooperate on space activities including developing a mission device, supporting satellite operations, and sharing related data. CCSDS is focused on developing and recommending international standards for space data systems while incorporating demonstration results. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the National Institute of Information and Communication Technology (NICT) of Japan are CCSDS members.
