Minutes

1.  MP&S Blue Book status

The latest MP&S Blue Book draft G3 and EA model draft V2 are available on 
the GDrive. XML Schemas generated from the EA model are also available 
here. The XML Schemas can now automatically be converted, adding 
functionality that is not supported by the EA XML Schema exporter, such as 
better structured List types.

Roger reported about an ongoing discussion in the SM&C WG on the structure 
of the MAL Objects. In MP&S, there is a strong preference to keep the 
resulting data structures as simple as possible. Roger will follow this up 
in the SM&C WG. There could potentially be (minor) updates required to the 
MP&S Blue Book, depending on the final MAL specification.

All other feedback has currently been incorporated in the BB. Some minor 
open issues exist regarding the use of the SANA Registry: in SM&C, the 
areas are defined as an enumerated type, but should eventually end up in 
the SANA Registry to be extendible, and there is another open issue  with 
the NAV reference frames, where there is currently a redundancy and there 
is an open action on the NAV group to clarify which unambiguous type MP&S 
should use.

2. Prototyping status

The Yellow Book draft 2.2 is available on the GDrive, with detailed 
specifications in the XL spreadsheet (v05). Guillermo is in the process of 
updating the Yellow Book test specifications based on the feedback 
received. Some feedback from Peter was discussed during the meeting.

Work at DLR will resume as of next week. An additional person will be 
added to the team.

Work on the XML testing is ongoing by Peter. Currently, the 
PlanningRequestFile testing has been completed. The testing of the 
PlanningResponseFile and PlanFile is expected to be completed within the 
next two weeks.

3. Blue Book Agencies Review planning

With the ongoing discussions on the MAL updates, the MP&S BB can currently 
not be finalised. It is now planned that the Blue Book is finalised in the 
coming weeks and a last review of the Blue Book can then be done during 
the CCSDS Spring Meeting.

The Blue Book for Agencies Review shall include a list of assumptions and 
open points. In addition, any referenced SANA Registry artefacts shall be 
provided in the SANA Beta Registry in support of the review. These are the 
XML Schemas, which are now completed and tested (some final testing still 
pending) and the XML Service Specification for MP&S. The latter will be 
the version based on the current MAL and the ongoing prototyping. It can 
only be completed after the MAL updates are available. As such, there will 
be open work regarding the MP&S Service Specification.

4. CCSDS Spring Meeting planning

The CCSDS Spring Meeting 2022 will again be held as Virtual event. 
Technical meetings are expected to be held between 9 - 27 May. The CCSDS 
Planery will be held on 11 May. The MOIMS closing plenary date is not yet 
available, Marc to check. The last MP&S WG meeting shall be before the 
MOIMS closing plenary.

The following MP&S Sessions are foreseen:

- session 1: Prototyping, Yellow Book and XML Schemas
- session 2: Blue Book finalisation, discussion of comments
- session 3: Conclusions and reporting to MOIMS (and further Blue Book 
discussions if needed)

It is suggested to hold sessions 2/3 after SM&C WG discussions on the MAL 
updates. Considering other constraints (e.g. 26/27 May are public 
holidays), the following options are available:

- 10 or 12 May: session 1
- 16 and 19 May: optional, not preferred
- 24 and 25 May: session 2, session 3 

Meetings will take place at the usual times, i.e. 16:00 - 18:00 CET.

Peter to coordinate with SM&C and to make the consolidated planning 
available to the WG.

5. AOB and next meeting

No regular MP&S WG meeting is currently planned. The next WG meetings will 
be held as part of the CCSDS Spring Meetings, see point 4 above.

Best regards,

Peter
