# SCOSpy
SCOSpy is a python library for the Satellite Control and Operation System 2000 (SCOS-2000) header written as hexadecimal string.
Current version is 0.4.4
## Library Installation
```bash
$ pip install SCOSpy
```
## Usage
``` python
from SCOS.SCOS import SCOS
a = SCOS(packet)
```
where *packet* is the hexadecimal string rapresentation of the Telemetry packet.
## Limitation
At the moment the software works only for Telemetry and Telecommand packets (Packet Types 1 and 2) for the BepiColombo ESA Mission.
It is possible add a new Mission ID and Spcecraft ID. For example to add the JUICE Mission :
``` python
form SCOS.SCOS import SCOS, MissionID, SpacecraftID
MissionID[844]={'id':844, 'description': 'JUICE'}
SpacecraftID[844]={'id':844, 'description': 'JUICE'}
obj=SCOS[data]
```
In the next versions other missions will be implemented.
## Data Structure
The SCOS object contain:
* [**Common Packet Header Structure (CPH)**](#common-packet-header-structure-chp)
one of the following sub-object:
* [**Telemetry Packet Header (TMPH)**](#telemetry-packet-header-tmph)
* [**Telecommand Packet Header (TCPH)**](#telecommand-packet-header-tcph)
* [**Event Packet Header (EPH)**](#event-packet-header-eph) (not implemented)
and the attribute
* **data** with the data in the packet as hex string
Many of the entries of the objects are dictionary. Usually the structure is the following: *{'id': x, 'description': 'blablabla'}* ad is reported in the tables.
### Common Packet Header Structure (CHP)
In the CHP are present the following fields.
Field |Description
---|---
**CTree** | Used in earlier version of SCOS-2000 by c-tree to support packets storing in files and be kept for backward compatibility.
**AccessF** | Storing mode, see [Access Flag Table](#access-flag-table)
**SimFlag** | Simulated packet, see [Simulated Packet Table](#simulated-packet-table)
**FilingTime** |Filing Time. For TM this is the timestamp. For TCs, this is the release time.
**CreationTime** | Creation Time. This is a secondary retrieval key and for TM is the time at which the SCOS-2000 packet was created, which is also approximately the time that the packet was received by the MCS and stored. For TCs, this is its (estimated) execution time.
**CreateID** | Used by the old SCOS-2000 archive for generating a retrieval key and set by the application which generated the packet.
**SCID** | In the case of telemetry, Spacecraft ID. See [Spacecraft ID Table](#spacecraft-id-table)
**GSID** | In the case of telemetry, the ID and name of the ground station which receives the frame containing this packet. See [Ground Stations Table](#ground-stations-table)
**PSize** | Packet Size. Size of the entire SCOS-2000 packet, including all headers and the packet data.
**PType** | Determines the type of SCOS-2000 packet. See [Packet Types Table](#packet-types-table)
**Version** | The version of this packet structure.
**FilingFlag** | Set to **1** if this packet is to be filed in the MCS archive, otherwise **0**.
**DistFlag** | Set to : **1** if this packet is to be distributed to the MCS applications, otherwise **0**.
**TSPolicy** | Determines the timestamp policy for spacecraft TM, i.e. what will be set in the Filing Time fields above. See [Timestamp Policy Table](#timestamp-policy-table)
**TQ** | Time quality of the timestamp, used only if the **TsPolicy** is set to **2**. See [Time Quality Table](#time-quality-table).
**StreamID** | The datastream identifier in the MCS, which for TM maps to VCs. See [Stream IDs Table](#stream-ids-table)
**SeqCounter** | Internal MCS counter used for detecting gaps – not related to the spacecraft source sequence count value in the PUS header.
**SPID** | the numerical packet ID which identifies the packet structure, and maps to packet definitions in the TM/TC MIB database. Note: For TC packets, SPIDs 100 and 200 are used.
**MissionID** | For telemetry, the MCS mission identifier. See [Mission IDs Table](#mission-ids-table)
