<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="EmailStyle22">I think that there are really two separate kinds of liaisons we could explore, one is CCSDS to UNOOSA (and probably UNCOPUOS which David Berry is already working with). That could look like a process for coordinating
registries (especially if the UNOOSA actually had a registry and opposed to a list of docs). The other is a CCSDS to
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Partners of the Artemis Accord liaison. I think that would be more of an operational liaison, with us offering the CCSDS registries as an active way of registering and managing the data about
organizations, points of contact, protocol features, and services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Indeed the Partners of the Artemis Accord are supposed to join the Registration Convention of the UN. I have glanced through the UN Registry – which is really huge – and I understood that its role
is to mainly (although not only) address legal aspects of space objects.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Our SANA Registry contains, as you outlined, technical information about spacecraft.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Your proposal to approach the Artemis Program – and the UN – about adopting the SANA registries as part of the Artemis interoperability strategy looks interesting to me. I assume the liaison will
be established via/by the SSG.</span> <br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We can put this topic in the CESG Agenda of next week’s meeting (Meeting 2, on 3<sup>rd</sup> June).</span>

While looking at the Artemis website provided in this note from Mario I found a reference to a Registry of Space Objects that is also a part of this Artemis Program. Searching for that, and following the links, took me to a UN site tied somehow to COPUOUS
(Committee on Peaceful Uses of Space) and to a site that is the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (OOSA). This website has the space objects registry.<o:p></o:p></p>

This site says " To date over 86% of all satellites, probes, landers, crewed spacecraft and space station flight elements launched into Earth orbit or beyond have been registered with the Secretary-General." I was curious as to just what this "registry" looks
like so I visited the site and downloaded a representative record. The site is a simple list of entries, one per spacecraft, or set of spacecraft. I downloaded one of the recent records, labelled " ST/SG/SER.E/929" from Canada, dated 17 Feb 2020. This web
page has a list of files in different languages, so I downloaded the English version. That is attached for reference (file V2001544). It is a PDF file of text which contains the Canadian submission, the name(s) of the three spacecraft (in this case), UN
assigned unique identifiers, details of owner, contact, launch date, vehicle, and location, purpose, basic orbital parameters, and not much else. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
So registration in this site is apparently being asked of the partners in Artemis. But as a registry it is pretty limited and offers none of the features that we have in the SANA Spacecraft and Service Site and Aperture (SS&A) registry that will be really
important for supporting functional interoperability. This would include frequency band assignments, SCIDs, protocols in use, and offered services. I'd like us to discuss this as a CESG item and reach some agreement on whether we should approach both the
Artemis Program and UNOOSA about adopting the SANA registries as an active part of the Artemis interoperability strategy. <o:p></o:p></p>

I think we have something simple and solid to offer in the form of real registries that can be used for interoperability.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
A quick and graphically appealing read, on the NASA Artemis Accords</span> <br>
<u><span style="color:blue"><br>
</span></u><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-accords/index.html"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-accords/index.html</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
In particular, I would like to draw your attention to the statement:</span> <br>
<b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><br>
Interoperability</span></i></b> <i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><br>
Interoperability of systems is critical to ensure safe and robust space exploration.</span></i>
<br>
<i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><br>
Therefore, the Artemis Accords call for partner nations to utilize open international standards, develop new standards when necessary, and strive to support interoperability to the greatest extent practical.</span></i>
<br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
I plead our NASA colleagues to communicate the good work that we are doing in the MOIMS to the Artemis programme and to feedback and need that it is currently not covered by our plan of work. Even better, if we could establish a more permanent link with the
Artemis teams dealing with standards.</span> <br>
