Abstract
This panel will address issues relating to development and evolution of spacecraft ground systems (SGS) using COTS components. Possibly the biggest challenges facing SGS developers are their increasing dependence on COTS products and the implications of that trend. These include issues relating to granularity of components, applicable interface standards, COTS component standardization, and the consequences of the lack of a consensus reference architecture. Several workshops on SGS architectures and product lines have explored the impacts of ground system development using COTS software. Although the SGS community is still not close to a consensus reference architecture, there is broad agreement on many of the functions and services required in any SGS, and on the interfaces required in order to access those services.
