<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear Enrico and Gian Paolo,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have just had a teleconference with
Alcatel Alenia Space Italia on the feasibility of the HW demo of the MHOMS
project. Unfortunately,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to my great disappointment, I have been
informed that the demo is not possible due to the a problem to the HW board
that is hosting the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">codec . This board has been used for
the successful demo here in ESTEC at the end of March but during the transport
back to l'Aquila</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">it has been damaged. As a result, the
team now lacks of a functional board (a new one has been ordered but it
will not be in time for the CCSDS demo). </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I apologize for this inconvenience but
unfortunately there is no much I can do about it.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please inform the CCSDS committee and
convey my apologies.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best regards</font>
