[MOIMS-NAV-EXEC] Simple Report on Nav WG books / Feb 2019

[Berry, David S (3920)]

Mario/Brigitte:

Per your request, here is the "simple report" on Nav WG projects as of our 20-Feb-2019 telecon.

500.0 Navigation Data - Definitions and Conventions Green Book: Version 4 updates are in progress. Foci continue to be revised material on "measurements", glossary cleanup and migration to SANA, and reference citations. The 3.6 update will be distributed prior to the Spring 2019 Meetings. We plan to request the CESG/CMC Polls and publication around the time of the Spring Meetings, given that the work is nearing completion.

500.2 Navigation Data Messages Overview - Green Book:  Version 2 updates are in progress. A third draft of the document was distributed in early January; it's possible this is the final update draft. Progress is good overall.

502.0 Orbit Data Message (ODM): The latest draft (P2.38) was distributed late November and is still under internal review. Updates to CCSDS Normative Annexes SANA Registries continue. The ODM will be one of the first to take advantage of this new feature; applicable annexes have been removed from the draft of P2.38. We hope to have another update around the time of the Spring Meetings.

503.0 Tracking Data Message (TDM): The prototyping test plan draft is nearly complete; none of the RIDs required changes in the test plan. Several of the tests in the plan are underway. A TDM Version 3 project was approved at the Fall CMC Meeting and by CMC Poll; we have had preliminary discussions as to possible extensions of the standard, but for the present the focus is on getting TDM V2 published.

504.0 Attitude Data Messages (ADM): Version 2 updates are in progress. The Lead Editor provided a P1.7 update of the ADM just prior to the Fall Meetings; this version was discussed at the meetings. The XML sections are now incorporated in the document, and the Attitude Comprehensive Message (ACM) material (analogous to the ODM's Orbit Comprehensive Message (OCM)) will be incorporated in ADM P1.8 in early 2019 (the ACM material must be harmonized with the changes in the OCM). I don't have a more current status (this is the same as last report) because the Lead Editor was not able to attend the telecon.

505.0 Navigation Data Messages XML Specification (NDM/XML): Draft P1.0.1 was distributed 30-Sep-2018. Some internal review of the document has been received. Some "corrigenda" for the existing Blue Book are under consideration to encompass "elementFormDefault='qualified'" schemas in addition to the currently supported "elementFormDefault='unqualified'" schemas. There has not been much progress since last report given the wait for commentary and the priority on other documents.

508.0 Conjunction Data Message (CDM): A new project to revise the CDM was proposed at the Fall Meetings. The new project was approved at the Fall CMC Meeting and by CMC Poll. We have obtained the official update copy of the document from the Secretariat, but have not had any substantive discussions regarding changes yet (though we have a list of topics to discuss).

508.1 Re-Entry Data Message (RDM): Prototype development at (ESA and DLR) is nearing completion. Excellent progress is being made.

509.0 Pointing Request Message (PRM): No new status.

50x.0 Navigation Events Message (NEM): No new status. Distribution of the first NEM White Book has been postponed given the priority of the ADM, which has the same Lead Editor. The WG is working some action items to collectd and filter events from various agencies.


Regards,
David
