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

[Edwards, Bernard L. (GSFC-5600)]

Hello!

Happy New Year to you and the other OCMers as well.

We don't expect a formal organized meeting on optical communications in Bordeaux, based on the IOAG recommendation, but if there was enough interest from the OCMers or from just representatives of various space agencies, NASA would be interested in an informal gathering.  That can even be during the breaks from other meetings or in the evening over dinner.  NASA is hoping that IOAG will approve the formation of a CCSDS working group sometime this summer.  If they do then a formal optical communications meeting could take place at the fall CCSDS meeting to work on such things as a working group charter, etc.

At the moment, NASA plans on sending me out to Bordeaux for any informal meetings or gatherings that might come up.

Very Respectfully,
Bernie Edwards

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.

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
