 is now one of the  key “pillars” for standards being developed in the CSS Area.  It can be viewed as the next logical layer down from the Cross Support Architecture documents.   You may recall at the last CESG meeting I noted that it will be good to have CESG
 review and comment on this.  As this can also be viewed as the abstract “wiring” diagram for cross-support component at the link level, I believe it will be of particular interest for the SLS Area as we believe these are the experts that will really know if

 various agency ground station networks and the various spacecraft. This means that we are faced with the problem of identifying the various components that render the various cross support services without discussing these in terms of specific equipment implementation
 details. The functional resource model represents our current best understanding of the various service resources required in the cross support setting but at an abstract level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
