'''XTCE''' (for XML Telemetric and Command Exchange) [http://www.omg.org/space/xtce XTCE home] is an [[XML]] based exchange format for spacecraft telemetry and command meta-data. Using XTCE the format and content of a space systems command and telemetry links can be readily exchanged between spacecraft operators and manufacturers. XTCE was originally standardized by the [[Object Management Group|OMG]]. In April 2007 the OMG released revision 1.1 Theof XTCE as an OMG available specification. -currentlyVersion 1.0- of the XTCE specification is a [[Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems|CCSDS]] red-book specification. and The XTCEversion 1.1 specification is currently under evaluation by the [[Object Management Group|OMG]] as an update to the available specification. Version 1.1 is also a candidate [[Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems|CCSDS]] blue-book specification.[[Image:XTCE_exchange.gif]]

to convert between the various proprietary database formats and editors. Allowing for a

common database exchange format throughout the entire mission lifecycle will significantly

reduce the cost of database conversions that occur in many space projects. AsXTCE has been develolped as part of an

international cooperation involving the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Goddard Space Flight Center, the European Space Agency, the United States Air Force and private industry including RT Logic, Harris, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The standards development effort has been coordinated via the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems and the Object Management Group. The XML Telemetry and Command Exchange

standard is now in active use as a means to exchange mission databases improving interoperability while reducing mission readiness costs.

and the wider international space community including Boeing and Lockheed Martin and

coordinated via the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems and the Object

Management Group, experts are finalizing the XML Telemetry and Command Exchange

standard as a mean to exchange mission databases, thereby providing a potential solution to

this problem. This paper will present the various international groups that have already

begun to make this database exchange a reality.
