The Unified Space Data Link Protocol (USLP) is a relatively new space protocol standard from CCSDS that aims to unify the protocols used for telecommand uplink and telemetry downlink between ground and space assets. This project proposes developing an open-access Python prototype implementation of USLP to demonstrate its benefits within the context of the LibreCube 1U rover platform. The prototype will facilitate the transmission of frames between PCs using this unified format, and accompanying documentation will also provided.
