SpaceWire

The SpaceWire standard addresses the handling of payload data on-board a spacecraft. It is a standard for a high-speed data link, which is intended to meet the needs of future, high-capability, remote sensing instruments and other space missions. SpaceWire provides a unified high-speed data-handling infrastructure for connecting together sensors, processing elements, mass-memory units, downlink telemetry sub-systems and EGSE equipment.
The SpaceWire standard specifies the physical interconnection media and data communication protocols to enable data to be sent reliably at high-speed (between 2 Mbps and 100 Mbps or more) from one unit to another. SpaceWire links are full-duplex, point-to-point, serial data communication links.
