[Cesg-all] Message from WGs to Observer Agencies

[Mario.Merri at esa.int]

Mike, My input:

Spacecraft Monitor and Control WG:  We are defining a Service Oriented 
Architectures for spaceflight missions, which consists of an homogenous 
set of Mission Operations (MO) services at application level that will 
make future missions truly and fully interoperable (i.e not only at 
communications level). We especially need experts with solid experience in 
Mission Operations (e.g. planning, time management, flight dynamics) and 
in the associated mission data systems. 

Regards,

__Mario

Dear WG Chairs: 
 
Recent discussions have made us aware that our WG chairs should be 
reminded that part of your job is to recruit broad attendance and support 
to your working group.  Also, CCSDS would like to increase participation 
of members from Observer Agencies (as well as Member Agencies, of course). 
 To that end, we are composing an email to be sent to the Observer 
Agencies that will suggest to them that they directly contact WG chairs to 
increase their participation in CCSDS working groups. 
 
As part of that email, we would like to offer to you that you can add a *
short* special message directly from your working group that emphasizes 
perhaps some technology that will be exciting to them, or some special 
skills that your team needs.  For example?
 
**********Draft email
 
Dear Observer Agency representatives:
 
CCSDS would like to reach out to Observer Agencies and insure that your 
organization understands that we welcome and *encourage* the participation 
of experts from your teams in developing the next generation of data and 
communication standards for spaceflight interoperability.  When you bring 
your experts and their proposals to CCSDS for solving the technical 
problems associated with data and communications interfaces, you get 
support from other agencies, and many eyes on the problems, supporting 
your missions as well as your support to others.  Even if you don?t have 
travel funding to attend our meetings, much work and review can be 
accomplished with between-meeting teleconferences and participation on the 
email lists.  Here is a sampling of the exciting work in our CCSDS Working 
Groups, and some special messages from the WG Chairs on specific technical 
areas that your experts could possibly help with.  More info on these and 
other Working Groups is available at http://cwe.ccsds.org/default.aspx. 
 
Delay Tolerant Networking WG:  This exciting work is making the Solar 
System Internet a reality.  Our next important technical focus is on 
Network Management and Contact Graph Routing. 
 
Spacecraft Monitor and Control WG:  Our technology area is Service 
Oriented Architectures as applied to spaceflight missions.  We especially 
need experts with C++ binding experience. 
 
Optical Communications:  We will increase the capacity of spacecraft 
downlinks to the Gigabit/sec range.  We need experts not only in optical 
communications, but the exchange of weather data as well. 
 
Etc. etc?.  (More *short* working group messages)
 
Your experts can either go directly to the links above or explore our 
Collaborative Work Environment (CWE - http://cwe.ccsds.org/default.aspx) 
and get contact information for our WG chairs, and also sign up for the 
mail list of those working groups, to experience the exciting technical 
challenges and activity that are ongoing in CCSDS. 
 
Of course, even if your teams don?t participate in development of new 
CCSDS standards, your programs and projects should be enthusiastically 
adopting the already published CCSDS standards, simply for the benefits to 
your missions.  But if your experts have participated in the development, 
those standards are even more supportive of your mission needs, and more 
meaningful to your expert teams. 
 
We look forward to hearing from your experts in our working groups? 
meetings and telecons. 
 
Best regards,
   ~~~ The CCSDS Secretariat
 
*************End of Draft
 
Of course, the example WG statements above will be deleted, and we will 
include only those that you WG chairs author. 
 
So, send your *short* inputs for this draft to the Secretariat mail list 
(no need to copy CESG-All unless you have something all WG chairs need to 
hear).  In CC above.  Please respond within a week (Wednesday Feb. 12.
 
Also, many of the CWE pages for your working group have only a line or two 
of text.  You should update your WG website to make your work look 
high-tech and interesting to visitors, as well as mentioning why this work 
is beneficial and important.  If you can do that, send your updates to 
CCSDS tech support at ccsds_techsupport at aiaa.org. 
 
   -=- Mike
