	SpaceWire Avionics Data Bus Descriptions
		The SpaceWire interface is a Point-to-Point cable bus used to handle payload data on-board a spacecraft.
		SpaceWire is also controlled by the European Space Agency, for the ECSS [European Cooperation for Space Standardization].
		SpaceWire Data is sent in characters which are formed by a 'Parity bit', 'Data-Control Flag', and 8 data bits {LSB to MSB}.

	SpaceWire (Site not responding. Last check: )
		SpaceWire is a spacecraft communication network based in part on the IEEE 1355 standard of communications.
		SpaceWire covers two (physical and data-link) of the seven layers of the OSI model for communications.
		SpaceWire initiatives are being co-ordinated between several Space Agencies like ESA and NASA in the frame of CCSDS in order to extend its communication model to the Network and Transport Layers of the OSI model.

	SpaceWire: The Standard
		SpaceWire is an emerging standard for high-speed data handling which is intended to meet the needs of future, high-capability, remote sensing instruments.
		SpaceWire is based on two existing commercial standards, IEEE-1355 [1] and LVDS [2, 3] which have been combined and adapted for use on-board spacecraft.
		SpaceWire is the result of the efforts of many individuals within the European Space Agency, European Space Industry and Academia.

	Sunday Herald: Business: Business News
		"SpaceWire is a computer network which enables devices on spacecraft to gather, store and process information on board the spacecraft before sending it back to Earth, and because it's an internationally accepted standard, the development, installation and re-use of a wide variety of components has become a much more straightforward process.
		It is already being used in the vast majority of spacecraft being built in Europe, the United States and Japan, and will be used by NASA in the James Webb Space Telescope scheduled to be launched in 2013 as a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
		SpaceWire has been a crucial factor in the success of Dundee University's Space Technology group, which was launched in 2005 to bring together the institution's Space Systems Research Group, Satellite Receiving Station and related commercial activities.

		The interconnected units could be telescopes monitoring the Earth's oceans or some other type of sensor, large memory sub-systems for storing gathered data, computers for processing the data and controlling the spacecraft, or the telemetry-telecommand system that is used to send data to Earth and receive commands.
		SpaceWire is now being adopted for use on many spacecraft by the European Space Agency and NASA.
		The specific technology for which the SMART award was won is a SpaceWire Link Analyser which can be used to monitor the information flowing through a SpaceWire network, providing vital debugging support during the spacecraft development phase.

	Portal puts SpaceWire on Ethernet: News from 4Links
		SpaceWire is being rapidly adopted by the space industry in the USA, Japan and Europe.
		There are options available to exploit new features of the SpaceWire standard such as time-code generation, so that the whole SpaceWire network can have a consistent view of time, and which can be used as a basis for isochronous traffic over SpaceWire with exceptionally low jitter.
		The SpaceWire link is galvanically isolated, thanks to the transformer coupling of the Ethernet, so that additional isolation is not required between test equipment and satellite.
