Summary of Goals and Deliverables (1) 1. What do you expect to deliver and when Short term schedule:  Magenta Book:  When RIDS are in (after June 28 th), process them  Include some pictures anyway, to improve readability  Blue Book:  Run first Agency review  Green Book:  Complete missing chapters, review existing ones  Interaction with SMWG:  Continuing discussion with SMWG, for inclusion of DDOR service in the Cross-support Services

Summary of Goals and Deliverables (2) Long term schedule: DateMilestone Fall 2010 Disposition of Second Round of Agency RIDs on the “Delta-DOR recommended practice for cross support” Magenta Book Issue of “Delta-DOR recommended practice for cross support” Magenta Book Internal review of the RIDS received for the Blue Book December 2010 Disposition of First Round of Agency RIDs on the “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format” Blue Book April 2011Issue a final version of the Green Book December 2011 Prototyping of the raw data format (Blue Book) complete. Compile Yellow Book Date TBD Continuing the process for the issue of the Blue Book, once the Yellow Book is ready, through 2 nd Agency review Revise Magenta Book based on inputs coming from SMWG, whenever such WG is advancing on the definition of SM for tracking services.

Progress Achieved  What do you expect to accomplish: To publish the Magenta Book after the Second Round of Agencies’ review by Fall 2010 To have passed the First Round of Agency Review on the Blue Book by December 2010 To have a complete draft (for all sections) of the Green Book by Spring 2011

Detailed progress on Magenta Book  The version recently published for 2nd Agencies’ review has been discussed  WG members were encouraged to advertise the review within their own Agencies  Few editorial changes were agreed and collected in an ad-hoc document; these will be inserted at the end of the review process  Figure 3-1 has been extensively discussed  MM and JB to draft a new version of it, for WG discussion  The possibility to insert several figures in sect. 4 (one for each scenario) has been discussed  JB to draft one figure, for WG discussion  The draft pictures will be provided within 1 month, and discussed via telecon

Detailed progress on Blue Book  The book was revised by the WG  Version v3 is now ready for editorial review  The WG resolves that document W-0 can go to CESG and CMC approval, for Agency review  ESA stated that, according to current plans, their prototype will be ready by mid 2011  NASA will develop plan and schedule for prototype  JAXA stated that, according to current plans, their prototype will be ready by mid 2011  Based on the above, testing and evaluation will be done during the second half of 2011  This will allow collecting material for the related Yellow Book  It is noted that the current CCSDS scheduling tool foresees prototyping only after the 2nd Agency review, whereas the SEA Area Director reported that the prototyping before the 2nd review will be needed

Detailed info on Yellow Book  Preliminary table of contents  Two main chapters, one for Magenta Book, one for Blue Book Magenta Book: chapters on testing of Operational and Validation Scenarios Blue Book: testing of completeness of the information content (i.e. the stated parameters are sufficient for obtaining the expected results) and on quality of results Blue Book: testing the capability of each Agency to produce data in the specified format and to make use of such data  In both cases, test plans, test procedures and test reports will be produced

Detailed progress on Green Book  Sections 1 to 5 were discussed during the meeting.  The WG agreed that an outline of the remaining sections shall be due before the next CCSDS Fall Meeting  Outline for chapter 5  Action: MM and HT  Outline for chapter 6  Action: MM  Outline for chapter 7  Action: MM  Outline for chapter 8  Action: HT  All sections shall be then completed, at least in a draft form, two months before the CCSDS Fall meeting  All WG members to review existing sections (1 to 5)  It is noted that chapters 6 and 7 may move to the Yellow Book

Open Issues / Areas of concern  What are the currently known open issues Currently there are no open issues  Areas of concern Time and resources could limit the progress on the Green Book during 2010 The prototyping of the Blue Book format will absorb most of the energies in the next year

Risk Management Update  No risk has been highlighted  Resources are always an issue

Cross Area WG / BOF Issues  Are there issues in your WG with other WGs?  Existing limitations in (interagency) data transfer infrastructure may reduce the applicability of the coming Magenta Book  Is there cross WG or cross area coordination needed?  Service Management: SMWG will extend, in the future, their SM procedures to tracking services; interaction with such WG is being put in place, to insure the proper level of coordination  Data Transfer  RF & Mod WG (modification of B needed and agreed)  At what level and how would you like to proceed?  Service management: embed the DDOR service in the SM framework  discussions with SMWG are on going, a more focalised concept of the required SR has been provided to SM WG  Data transfer: through the production of an ad-hoc Blue Book, then discuss with CSS-SM and CSS-CSTS whether to manage/formalize data transfer (but it should be just a question of protocols)  Modification of sect B as required
