This document provides a guideline for spacecraft platform, subsystem, and component (including payload) developers for integrating plug-and-play characteristics into spacecraft structures, avionics, and hardware and software components to promote their rapid integration. This guideline will be used as the foundation for Space Plug-and-play Architecture (SPA) standards. The SPA community anticipates adding protocols (e.g., Ethernet as SPA-E) as the PnP capabilities are normalized.
