[CCSDS Rapporteur]

Control Number: RP 19-27

The following draft CCSDS Recommended Standard has been placed on 
line for CCSDS Agency review:

     CCSDS 133.1-P-2.1.  Encapsulation Packet Protocol.  Pink Book.
                         Issue 2.1.  August 2019.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  The CCSDS Recommended Standard for 
Encapsulation Service specifies a communications service to be used 
by space missions to transfer protocol data units that are not 
directly transferred by the Space Data Link Protocols over a 
ground-to-space or space-to-space communications link.  The current 
draft update removes the Space Packet from available encapsulation 
formats, changes the name from Encapsulation Service to Encapsulation 
Packet Protocol, and adds the Unified Space Data Link Protocol to 
supported the Space Data Link protocols.
The due date for receipt of Agency review comments by the Review 
Coordinator is 18 October 2019.  More information is available at the 
Web site identified below.
