[CESG] New version of the CCSSD Strategic Plan ===> MSPA comment

[Barkley, Erik J (3170)]

Gippo,

It does not require any adjustment to the SLS Area goal.  My comment is only an observation from the big picture point of view - it is fine to have a recommendation for standardization of the RF part of MSPA configuration, but given that we are looking at the MSPA RF standardization eventually the management of MSPA in general will surface. I believe we can further discuss this at the Bordeaux CESG meeting.

Best regards,

-Erik

Erik's comments


  *   I believe some further work is probably required on inter-area strategic alignment. A case in point is that the SLS area lists development on standards regard to MSPA techniques. I can tell you that MSPA tends to be a service management nightmare -- at least as far as DSN management goes with regard to Mars - it is the most complicated scenario.  I have adjusted the cross support services area to properly complement the strategic goal that is listed for SLS.  Also, I would not all be surprised to see proper SSI management span SIS, CSS, and MOIMS.  I believe this will be an interesting discussion at the CESG Bordeaux meeting.
[Nestor] To be discussed at Bordeaux.

Erik,
        your comment is linked to one SLS goal and precisely to:

a        By 2016: to develop standards on Multiple Spacecraft Per Aperture (MSPA) techniques, on 22 GHz modulations and on emergency communications.

I would like to make clear that this goal (though SLS-RFM WG) only deals with the RF part for MSPA techniques for downlink and uplink.
It is my understanding that your comment is requiring any correction to the SLS goal.
Am I correct?

Regards

Gippo
