SpaceWire is a standard governing serial communication between satellite components.  Originally developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), SpaceWire marries IEEE-1355 with a LVDS physical layer.  SpaceWire is a self-managing point-to-point serial interface that provides high speed, low power operation while offering a flexible user protocol.  Targeted for high-speed links and networks for use onboard spacecraft to ease the interconnection of sensors, mass-memories, processing units and downlink telemetry sub-systems.
