<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This topic concerns the new project recently approved for revising the Space Packet Protocol (SPP) Blue book.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please read the attached Word file that contains a discussion I had with Takahiro Yamada, the driving force in the CCSDS restructuring of the Packet Telemetry Blue Book. Parts of that book under Takahiro’s
guidance became the Space Packet Protocol, SPP, which we are now tasked to revise and update.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have made several suggestions about removing sections of the existing SPP document and I have asked Takahiro to give us his opinion about it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I would like to hold a 1 hour telecon on this subject in the very near future. I will set up a doodle poll to determine when the best time will be to discuss this topic. Please look forward to the invitation.
If you don’t see one, please let me know so that I can add you to the list, if I missed you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
