The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO non-governmental, in liaison with isO, also take part in the work. isO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEc Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. rights.

ISO 13526 was prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) (as CCsDs 503.0-B-1, November 2007) and was adopted (without modifications except those stated in Clause 2 of this International Standard) by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee Sc 13, Space data and information transfer systems. ii aadzao Not for Resale INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13526:2010(E) Space data and information transfer systems Tracking data message 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a standard message format for use in exchanging spacecraft tracking data between space agencies. Such exchanges are used for distributing tracking data output from routine interagency cross-supports, in which spacecraft missions managed by one agency are tracked from a ground station managed by a second agency. The standardization of tracking data formats facilitates space agency allocation of tracking sessions to alternate tracking resources. This International Standard includes requirements and criteria that the message format has been designed to meet. For exchanges where these requirements do not capture the needs of the participating agencies, another mechanism can be selected. The scope and field of application are furthermore detailed in subclause 1.2 of the enclosed CcsDS publication.
