The Command and Data Subsystem (CDS) on Cassini is responsible for uplink command processing, spacecraft intercommunications and control, and downlink telemetry formatting. The 10.7 year mission life, 160 minute round-trip light time, and extended periods of operation without continuous ground communications drive the CDS design in directions of redundancy, autonomy, and fault protection to accomodate the mission objectives.
