==============================================================
Data Archive Ingestion Working Group
1. Overall highlights of 2007.
Draft Producer-Archive Interface Specification technical issues have  mostly
been resolved and a new version of the document, close to
being a Red Book, will be generated by end December 2007.
Comments on the "Reference Model of an Open Archival Information  System
(OAIS)", in support of the CCSDS/ISO 5-year review cycle have
been received and actions to address them have been assigned..

2. Standards published.
   None this year, but 2 expected CY 2008.

3. Standards in work and outline of upcoming big events.
   Producer-Archive Interface Specification expected as a Red Book in  Spring
   2008.  A companion Tutorial and 2 implementations are also
planned.
   An updated version of the "Reference Model of an Open Archival
   Information System (OAIS)", in response to the 5-year review cycle,
is expected to be released for review in Spring 2008.

Information Packaging and Registries Working Group
1. Overall highlights of 2007.
   The agency review of the XML Formatted Data Unit(XFDU): Structure and
   Construction Rules was completed. A full set of the Editor's RID responses
   was posted to the MOIMS/IPR CWE area. A Final editor's draft of the XFDU
   Blue Book was posted to the MOIMS/IPR CWE area for WG and CESG Review.
   A Set of Interoperability tests for XFDU implementations was defined and
   sucessfully completed for the ESA and NASA implementations. A formal XFDU
   Interoperability Test report is currently being written and should be
   posted to the MOIMS/IPR CWE area in late December 2007 for WG and CESG
   Review
   A new version of the XFDU Tutorial Green Book is being developed and will
   be available to accompany the XFDU Blue Book and Interoperability Test
   Report for CESG Review.

2. Standards published.
   None (XFDU Blue Book suite-Jan 2008).

3. Standards in work and outline of upcoming big events.
   A Draft Green Book on Use Cases and Requirements on CCSDS Usage of
   Registries and a Concept Paper on Architecture and Information Model for
   CCSDS Registries are being developed in conjunction with the SEA
   Registries and Repositories SIG and will be reviewed at the CCSDS 2008
   Spring Workshop.
   Currently, we expect to develop a XML Schema Registry White Book and
   Agency Prototype for discussion at the CCSD 2008 Fall Workshop with a
   Redbook/Green Book for agency review in 2009 and a Blue Book in 2010.

Navigation Working Group
1. Overall highlights of 2007.
    Collaboration with the ISO TC20/SC14 on changes to the Orbit Data
   Messages (ODM).
   Successful completion of the Tracking Data Messages prototyping.
   Significant progress on the Attitude Data Messages prototyping.
   Agreement between ESA Flight Dynamics and JPL Navigation to use the
   Tracking Data Message for exchange of ESA Delta-DOR measurements of the
   Phoenix spacecraft..

2. Standards published.
   The Tracking Data Message (TDM) Blue Book 1.0 was published effective
   11/30/2007..

3. Standards in work and outline of upcoming big events.
    The Attitude Data Messages (ADM) should be published just after the CCSDS
   Meetings in March 2008.
   An updated Orbit Data Messages (ODM) should be published by the end of
   2008.
   The first issue of the Navigation Data Messages / XML Specification should
   be published by the end of 2008.
   The Navigation Working Group is planning an update of the Navigation Green
   Book in 2008..

Spacecraft Monitoring & Control Working Group
1. Overall highlights of 2007.
On the SM&C side, the WG demonstrated version 2 of the prototype in Colorado
Springs (Jan 07) and finalised the work on 3 standards: the SM&C Message
Abstraction (CCSDS 521.0-R-1), the SM&C Common Services (CCSDS 521.1-R-1) and
the SM&C Core Services (CCSDS 522.0-R-1). These standards went through Agency
Review and are currently be reworked to incorporate the agreed changes. Work
has also been started on the first Magenta book, the SM&C Java API, which is
currently undergoing its second internal review. The WG has worked very
efficently together and has captured a lot of attention in the potential user
community being the most attended WG in both the Spring and Fall CCSDS
meetings 07. All active members of the WG (ASI, BNSC, CNES, CSA, DLR, ESA,
FSA, INPE, JAXA, NASA) are in agreement with the direction of the work

On the XTCE side, the XML Telemetric and Command Exchange (XTCE) (CCSDS
660.0-B-1) has been formally adopted in Nov 07 from the Object Management
Group (OMG) after two CCSDS Agency Reviews.  The work is currently focused on
the MB as a tailoring of the BB for CCSDS-based missions. In parallel with
the Spring 07 CCSDS workshop, the 1st XTCE Users workshop had been organised
with very good participation by Agencies and European industry.

2. Standards published.
   XML Telemetric and Command Exchange (XTCE), CCSDS 660.0-B-1

3. Standards in work and outline of upcoming big events.
The following standards are currently in work:
   SM&C Message Abstraction (CCSDS 521.0-R-1): to be submitted for approval
   in Mar 08
   SM&C Common Services (CCSDS 521.1-R-1): to be submitted for approval in
   Mar 08
   SM&C Core Services (CCSDS 522.0-R-1):  to be submitted for approval in Mar
   08
   SM&C Java API MB: to be submitted for Agency Review in Q3/2008
   XML Telemetric and Command Exchange (XTCE) MB: to be submitted for Agency
   Review in Q3/2008

In addition to the above documents, the WG has plans to work on new SM&C
services (TBD) and the following SM&C technology mapping (preliminary
not-confirmed list):
   SM&C Mapping to Corba (ESA)
   SM&C Mapping to JMS (CNES)
   SM&C Mapping to AMS (NASA).
