Astro

Astro is an open-source Go (Golang) library that aims to implement all CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) protocols. This project provides a comprehensive, idiomatic, and efficient implementation of these standards for use in space-related applications.

Overview

The CCSDS protocols are a set of international standards designed to ensure interoperability in space data systems. By implementing these protocols in Go, Astro aims to:

• Simplify the development of space data systems.
• Provide reusable, modular components for space-related applications.
• Enable easy integration with other tools and libraries in the Go ecosystem.

Features

• Idiomatic Go design, adhering to best practices.
• Modular and extensible architecture.
• Comprehensive documentation and examples.

Goals

1. Implement a full suite of CCSDS protocols.
2. Provide thorough documentation, including use cases and examples.
3. Ensure high performance and reliability for production use.
4. Foster community collaboration to enhance and expand the library.

Usage

Astro is currently under active development. The library will be available for use once the initial protocols are implemented. To stay updated, please follow the project progress on GitHub.
