[Sls-ocm] Charter draft for OCM working goup

[Nicolas.Perlot at dlr.de]

Dear Massimo,

 

1) I agree that we should have a completed version of the white paper as
soon as possible.

 

2) As you suggested, I will add the following point on the agenda of the
Fall meeting (London): "Discussion on the participation of ESA to the
OCM work and on ESA internal approval process".

 

3) About your objections during the Spring meeting:

If I remember correctly, you objected during my presentation on direct
LEO downlinks that GEO satellites with optical payloads were already
flying (ARTEMIS) or about to fly (Alphasat, EDRS). J-L. Gerner also
mentioned the need for onboard memory for direct optical downlinks. I
agree. But these remarks do not change the view of my institute DLR-IKN
(and also my view) on direct LEO downlinks. What I was presenting was
the view of my institute DLR-IKN, just like JPL, NICT and JAXA presented
their views on optical links. If ESA has different views which you are
aware of, you are welcome to present them.

So the document I presented was a DLR-IKN document supporting CCSDS
discussion, but it was not a CCSDS document. So it does not have to
contain your remarks.

 

4)  I suggest to avoid the Post Scriptum in e-mails and to keep the
message content before the signature: I saw your P.S. only the second
time I read your message.  I recognize, though, the usefulness of P.S.
for paper letters.

 

 

Regards,

Nicolas 

 

Chair of OCM-SIG

Dear Nicolas, 
thank you for the draft. 

As an ESA SIG member, it is my opinion that the creation of a new WG is
still premature, while the SIG should first finish the work it was
supposed to do. 
In particular, I believe that the SIG should finalize the white book on
"Optical coding and modulation". Eventually, once the material is more
mature, a Green Book may be delivered. 

In any case, some more time and supporting material will be necessary to
understand whether ESA can partecipate to the work, due to the internal
approval process. 
I would suggest coming back to this at the London meeting, after the
technical discussions are over. 

Best regards, 
Massimo 

P.S. By the way, at the Virginia Beach meeting I raised a number of
objections to the assumptions put forward for some of the scenarios,
i.e. LEO-ground, but I couldn't find any trace of them 
         in the minutes.

[Sls-ocm] Charter draft for OCM working goup

 

 

 




Dear Lasercom people,

Find attached a draft of the charter for the creation of a CCSDS working
group "Optical coding and modulations".
Please send me your feedback within 3 weeks (till July, 26th). If your
agency is a CCSDS member agency, check whether it indeed supports the
specific scenarios as established in the last column of the scenario
table.

Regards,

Nicolas Perlot
Chair of the SIG "OCM"
