[Cesg-all] CCSDS "Wireless Workshop", 15 Jan 07

[Adrian J. Hooke]

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

CCSDS "Wireless for Space" Workshop
January 15, 2007
Colorado Springs, USA

Presentations and discussions invited on next generation 
commercially-derived wireless communications standards

CCSDS is planning a special 1-day international workshop to explore the 
potential application of commercially-derived (and especially the IEEE 802 
family) wireless link and networking standards to four space mission data 
communications environments:

"	Intra-vehicle (extremely short range)
"	Inter-spacecraft (short and medium range)
"	Planetary surface-to-surface (short and medium range)
"	Planetary surface-to-orbiter (medium range)

Attendees will represent the various space mission communities, interested 
space companies and CCSDS technical standardization working groups. Key 
questions to be addressed are:

"	What are the mission requirements?
"	To what extent can they be satisfied by adopting or adapting 
commercially-derived wireless protocols?

This workshop will be hosted by the University of Colorado in Colorado 
Springs, on the Monday immediately before the start of the 16-20 January 
2007 CCSDS Plenary meeting.  Participation will be limited to 50-60 
technical experts, with significant attendance expected by national space 
agency personnel.

Please make preliminary plans to attend and participate. Check back at 
http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/default.aspx by mid-October for further 
details and announcements.
