<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Please see email below from SLS AD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As summary, there is an on-going review of augment forward signal (AFS) by SLS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I was wondering if you are available to review the document in attachment with the approach indicated by SLS AD (see email below – “Approach”).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Because of my fault in informing the WG straight away (I apologize for that), we are already behind schedule.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">However, doc is rather short and SLS was kind enough to do a mapping as provided in the table below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As consequence, I was wondering if we can try to do a little effort, and provide comments by end of next week,
<b>Friday 20<sup>th</sup> COB</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">You can simply put your comments in the PDF file attached, and send it back to me. Then, I will do a consolidation of the inputs and forward to SLS AD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:20.0pt;color:#0070C0">LunaNet/Moonlight Augmented Forward Signal Specification Review<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h1><span lang="EN-GB">Background<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">During the recent Lunar Interoperability Forum (LIF) Panel 1, we had the opportunity to know more about the LunaNet/Moonlight initiatives led by NASA and ESA with the cooperation of JAXA. Related presentations from IOAG,
ESA and JAXA have been shared with CCSDS. For convenience, I have placed a copy at a dedicated CWE SLS location (see below).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As a follow-on action coming out of a subsequent meeting with the NASA and ESA Moonlight/LunaNet representatives, I offered to review the Augmented Forward Signal (AFS) specification by the CCSDS Space Link Services (SLS)
Area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The AFS is a one-way broadcast signal radiated by NASA, ESA and JAXA satellites providing interoperable Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) services in cislunar region. A large part of this specification falls within
the technical domains of competence of three SLS Working Groups (RFM, C&S and SLP).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The AFS document structure seems to inherit much from well-established Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signal specifications (e.g., GPS, GALILEO).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The NASA and ESA versions of the AFS specification differ only on the additional NASA cover pages (4 first pages). The NASA version is the one submitted to review and found on the dedicated CWE SLS folder (</span><a href="https://cwe.ccsds.org/sls/docs/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsls%2Fdocs%2FSLS%20Area%2FCWE%20Private%2F2024-06-25%20Advanced%20Forward%20Signal%20review&FolderCTID=0x012000439B56FF51847E41B5728F9730D7B55F&View=%7BAE8FB44C-E80A-42CF-8558-FB495ABB675F%7D"><span lang="EN-GB">2024-06-25

<h1><span lang="EN-GB">Objectives<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The review shall tell us whether the AFS specification can be turned into a CCSDS Blue Book and if the answer is positive, what it would take to do so. Document organization as well as editorial language style shall be
two key aspects to be examined.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
