CCSDS CMC / IOAG Joint Meeting Agenda item 6.1 CMC suggestions for improvement of relationship between CCSDS and IOAG
Observation #1: Agency Membership Differences • Chart is “partial” • CCSDS has 24 additional Observers • SC13 has 5 additional Observers • Common membership would improve CCSDS-IOAG harmonization
Observation #2: Scope differences • IOAG is not interested in all CCSDS areas • Mission Ops may be an upcoming addition • Some externals (ILN, ISECG) may need to go direct to CCSDS for those other areas. • CCSDS not interested in all IOAG topics • Process, procedures… CCSDS Areas of Interest Systems Engineering Cross Support Inter- Network Spacecraft Onboard Mission Ops Link Comm Probable addition IOAG Areas of Interest
Observation #3: Process differences • “Top-Down” approach used by both IOAG and CCSDS • Agency-level program needs introduced directly by delegates • “Bottoms-Up” approach also used by CCSDS • Technology drivers introduced by domain experts • Specific mission or technology needs introduced by advocates • Difference in approaches is driven by different scope • In some cases, CCSDS technology development is aimed at enabling new capabilities that missions don’t yet recognize • “Pull” versus “Push” • CCSDS horizon farther out than IOAG horizon • Process differences have valid reasons, and hence are OK
Summary Recommendations • Overall, current CCSDS-IOAG relationship is working well • “Loosely coupled” liaison relationship is appropriate. • Minor suggestions for improvement: • Harmonization of membership would help • Communication of resolutions (“ping-pong”) seems to add complexity and delays. No specific recommendations to improve. Good discussion topic. • Meeting schedule/location coordination • Meetings should be either joint or appropriately separated. • Avoid conflicting overlap (with SpaceOps, too!)
