[Moims-mp] Publication of the CCSDS Mission Planning Services Blue Book 529x1b1

[roger.s.thompson at btinternet.com]

  Dear All,



Many congratulations on finally getting the standard published.  It was 
a privilege to have worked on it together with you all - let's hope it 
now achieves its full potential!



I'm currently in Armenia at the end of a 3 week trip through the 
southern Caucasus region [getting close to the Iranian border, Mehran!], 
but will be sure to have a look at the finished product on my return.



Best wishes,



Roger

  Dear all,

   

  The Mission Planning Services Blue Book issue 1 (529x1b1) is now 
published and can be found on the CCSDS website:

   

                 https://ccsds.org/publications/bluebooks/entry/5048/ 
<https://ccsds.org/publications/bluebooks/entry/5048/>

   

  I would like to thank everyone involved, past and present, who has 
made their contribution to this book. It has been a long journey, with 
many discussions, reviews, iterations, updates, and the extensive 
prototyping work performed. This has truly been a team effort, and I 
believe it has resulted in a high-quality book that is expected to serve 
as the reference for mission planning interoperability in the years to 
come.

   

  Looking forward, we will now focus on the documents in support of the 
standard, such as the Magenta Book on the Mission Planning Information 
Model and the 5-year update of the Mission Planning Green Book. In 
addition, we will promote the standard in the mission planning community 
(for example in SpaceOps 2027) and may support the adoption of the 
standard by the involved Member Agencies.

   

  Regards,

   

  Peter
