Since great redundancy of telemetry data of spacecraft, telemetry data compression is a good solution for the limited bandwidth and contact wireless links. It is important to obtain accurate data characteristic firstly. State-of-the-art machine learning methods work well on data mining and pattern recognition under conditions of the given test data set, which could be used as the available tools for post-event data processing and analysis, such as trend forecasting and outlier detection, but they have not provided the proper solution from the source on-board. In this paper, four base classes of the telemetry data are suggested and studied through the time series feature and information entropy analysis, then a new on-board lightweight self-learning algorithm named Classification Probability calculation - Window Step optimization (CP-WS) is proposed to obtain the class features and make the decision of each single parameter from the continuous discrete telemetry time series. Simulation results show that, our algorithm correctly classifies the simulation and real mission data into the appropriate base class with advantages of high classification accuracy as 100% and adaptive computational complexity from $O(L^{2})$ to $O(L)$ , which could be used in satellite on-board data compression for space-to-ground transmission, especially for the deep space explorers to save important status with less on-board storage space.
