                          Pink Sheets.  Issue 2.1.  July 2016.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  The Recommended Standard for TC 
Synchronization and Channel Coding contains specifications for 
synchronization and channel coding to be used by space missions on

'codeword' for consistency with modern usage; deletes obsolete annex 
detailing changes from documents retired in 2005.
