<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">an interesting communication
for our OMG colleagues on a new standard that deals with SW defined radio.
>From a quick scan, I would say that this is particularly relevant for SLS.</span>

I hope this finds you and your family
well. It’s been awhile since we conversed. I’ve cc’d Dan
& Jay above since they are in transition and wanted to let you know
as OMG’s CCSDS Liaison that OMG’s Architecture Board approved the Space
Telecommunications Interface (STI) specification standard in December 2020.
The Finalization Task Force (FTF) has been established and the beta
specification is available. </span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman">STI’s
lineage is from NASA’s Space Telecommunications Radio Service (STRS) that
has been used in space by NASA since about 2011 and is based upon the International
Software Communications Architecture (SCA) that is being used worldwide
today. Below are three websites that you can learn more about and
share with CCSDS members. </span></p>
