The space community is now poised at the start of an exciting new era of space exploration, where many different organization will be launching spacecraft to investigate nearby bodies, such as the Moon and Mars. International fleets of spacecraft are thus likely to begin to fly and interoperability will often become a mission-enabling technology. These fleets will require a mix of powerful data communications capabilities to be available, ranging from conventional point-to-point architectures to new configurations supporting internetworked operations. This paper reviews the various CCSDS capabilities to support fully-standardized in-space internetworking, and outlines a strategy for smoothly evolving into the new era with minimum impact on the highly successful installed base of CCSDS-compatible systems, which are now widely deployed across the international space community.
