[Sls-ocm] OLSG Report Addendum Recommendations for CCSDS at the IOAG Meeting

[Gian.Paolo.Calzolari at esa.int]

Dear Bernie,
        first of all let me wish you and all the OCMers an happy 2013.

Thank you for your reporting about IOAG intentions.
Following this information, unless some agencies express "soon" interest 
for an OCM convocation and propose a suitable agenda I assume there will 
be no SLS-OCM meeting at the Spring 2013 CCSDS in Bordeaux.

Comments are welcome.

[Sls-ocm] OLSG Report Addendum Recommendations for CCSDS at the IOAG 
Meeting

Hi!
 
This is Bernie Edwards from NASA again.  I just wanted to let you know 
that the Optical Link Study Group (OLSG) Recommendations were presented at 
last week?s Interagency Operations Advisory Group (IOAG) meeting at 
Kennedy Space Center. 
 
IOAG is recommending that CCSDS not do anything with optical 
communications at the April CCSDS meeting.  Instead OLSG will do some 
additional work, but minimal, between now and IOP-3 in the summer of 2013. 
 The IOAG requested an updated roadmap,  an estimate of the effort needed 
(financial resources) for CCSDS standardization that is required, and for 
the OLSG to produce a reduced set of core optical communication standards 
recommendations.  At the IOAG, a reduced core set was discussed to be 
something along the lines of:
 
            Downlink Modulation (PPM, BPSK, DPSK)
            Meteorological Measurements
            Protocols
 
However, the IOAG really asked the OLSG to go back and look at it and come 
back with a recommendation.  Basically, in my opinion, the IOAG thought 
that the OLSG recommend too many ?high priority? standardization areas and 
the IOAG wanted to see which of those were more important than others.
 
So there will not be an Optical Comm BOF or SIG within CCSDS until 
sometime after IOP-3, which takes place this summer.  However, some have 
suggested holding some type of unofficial workshop just to keep dialogs 
going.  Stay tuned!
 
Thanks,
Bernie Edwards
