Pre-CCSDS Standards Craft in Service
There are a few pre-CCSDS standards craft in active service
- Voyager 1
- Voyager 2
this only means they do not transmit in the modern standard CCSDS packet formats. These craft do however use CCSDS standardized error correction formats in the downlink segment.
With respect to physical transmission layer the Voyager craft use standard DSN turnaround sequential ranging modulation. The spacecraft transponder has the capability to demodulate the uplink ranging data and remodulate it on the S-band or X-band downlink (or both downlink carriers simultaneously). The CCSDS baseline ranging standard is based on the Voyager craft ranging method.

Famous quotes containing the words standards, craft and/or service:
“Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
“To clothe the fiery thought
In simple words succeeds,
For still the craft of genius is
To mask a king in weeds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there’s no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
