<span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">Dear MOIMS standardisation
enthusiasts</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial"> A quick and graphically
appealing read, on the NASA Artemis Accords</span>
<br>
<br><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-accords/index.html"><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue;font-family:Arial"><u>https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-accords/index.html</u></span></a><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">
</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">In particular, I would
like to draw your attention to the statement:</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue;font-family:Arial"><b><i>Interoperability</i></b></span>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue;font-family:Arial"><i>Interoperability
of systems is critical to ensure safe and robust space exploration.</i></span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue;font-family:Arial"><i>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.</i></span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">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>
