For the MIRA demo project different CCSDS standard protocols were used: AMS/DTN (Asynchronous Message Service / Delay Tolerant Networking) and SM&C-MAL (Spacecraft Monitor&Control Message Abstraction Layer). The MAL protocol was successfully tested between German Space Operation Center (GSOC) and the operations and information technology office JSC in Houston and extended for the MIRA project.
