[SLS-CC] Erasure Correcting Codes

[Andrews, Kenneth S (US 332B)]

Andrea,

Some years ago now, the C&S Working Group spent a couple years studying erasure correcting codes. including Fountain codes and Raptor codes.  They’re an interesting theoretical idea, but we never found a good application in the space setting.  Hence, we stopped work, and I think the project can be deleted.  It still would be a fun research topic, if we could ever find a good use for them though.
