[CESG] CESG Presentation to CMC / TC BB?

        A clarification (may be not needed) according to your short 
statement.

but if this affects the CSTS FW resources where the same

Concern 

There is no new TC BB in progress, NASA is proposing an Orange Book for 
new TC Coding as other agencies are not supporting.
It is however true that NASA is proposing many new items in NGU, but they 
remain only ideas as long as only NASA is needing it (and no second agency 
support the work).

Anyhow, the addition of a new TC coding option would not affect CSTS FW as 
long as the frame structure does not change.
In other words the Ground Station - Control Center interface will not 
change as long as the Data Link Protocol (clearly the implementation 
within the Ground Station does change).
A change to the TC Data Link Protocol is likely to affect the Ground 
Station - Control Center interface.

Summarizing:
No new TC Blue Book in progress.
A new TC Blue Book would affect considerably CSTS FW only in case the TC 
Data Link is heavily modified.

I hope it helps in case you get questions.

Regards

Gian Paolo
