That was decided back in Darmstadt because we wanted to wait and see what the IOAG’s Optical Link Study Group was going to recommend. The Optical Link Study Group (OLSG) made several recommendations to the IOAG and was supposed to have completed its work, but the IOAG gave it more things to study. The Study Group is working on new recommendations to be delivered to the IOAG again, and some of those recommendations include things the CCSDS will be asked to work on. NASA is proposing to use the OCM-SIG to do the work within the CCSDS.
