An increasing variety of communications services are available to space missions. Yet varying standards between providers hinder adoption due to the complexity of managing many configurations. We present a software framework to automatically establish end-to-end communications during contacts with a provider by configuring spacecraft protocols at the physical, link, and network layers. Underlying protocols and routes are abstracted, allowing the user to simply send data to a destination with the framework ensuring its delivery. We evaluate a full implementation of the framework in laboratory experiments conducted on an emulated communications testbed. These tests demonstrate data delivery across three different services with rapid (<20s) reconfiguration as the spacecraft transitions between providers.
