[CMC Alert] RP A9-13 Announcement of Review Opportunity

[CCSDS Rapporteur]

Control Number: RP A9-13

The following draft CCSDS Recommended Standard has been placed on 
line for CCSDS Agency review:

        CCSDS 735.1-R-2.  Asynchronous Message Service.  Red Book.
                          July 2009.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  The draft Recommended Standard defines a CCSDS 
Asynchronous Message Service (AMS) for mission data system 
communications.  The service and its protocol implement an 
architectural concept under which the modules of mission systems may 
be designed as if they were to operate in isolation, each one 
producing and consuming mission information without explicit 
awareness of which other modules are currently operating.  The 
current issue incorporates changes resulting from the initial review.

The due date for receipt of Agency review comments by the Review 
Coordinator is 2009-9-25.  More information is available at the Web 
site identified below.

The review document, in Portable Document Format (PDF), and 
associated review materials are available for downloading at the 
following location:

REMINDER:  Agency Heads of Delegation are to make their own 
arrangements for review participation by their Agency-sponsored Associates.

NOTE: Per CMC Action Item CMC-A-2007-10-05, agency reviewers are 
reminded to review for compliance with the CCSDS Publications Manual 
as well as technical content.
