  1. ESA Report Jean-François Kaufeler 12th April 2005 Athens

  2. Content • ECSS – CCSDS cooperation • ESA level of contribution • Meeting locations • OMG organisation • Cooperation with OMG CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  3. ECSS: European Cooperation of Space Standardisation • Objective: streamline European efforts in standardisation • Members • All Space Agencies in Europe (in particular ASI, BNSC, CNES, DLR, ESA) • European Industry coordinated through EuroSpace • Produce standards in following domains • Management (for Space Projects) • Quality • Engineering • If they don’t exist at International level • If they are not suitable • ►Take International Standards (avoid, minimise changes) • Establish Engineering Standards at ISO (e.g. SC14) • Through the National Standardisation Bodies • Why not using this mechanism also for CCSDS ? • ►Better contribution to CCSDS for everybody’s benefit CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  4. Proposal for an ECSS / CCSDS cooperation • ECSS wants to realise this in a first step by: • Establishing focal points for regular contact between both organisations • CCSDS: A member of CESG (non-European? CESG Chairman ?) • ECSS: A member of the ECSS Executive (to be nominated) • Defining clear interfaces for exchange of information on the different levels of both standardisation life cycles • Plan • Resources • NWI • Review • Working Group selection • Identification of projects of common or specific interest, • Defining the leading organisation of the standardisation project (in general CCSDS-WG with ECSS-participants) • Participating in the WG, which drafts the standard • Referring directly to CCSDS / ISO standards, if a common developed standard is published by CCSDS or ISO CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  5. CCSDS Responsibilities ECSS NWIP (BOF) Agencies (CCSDS-Members) ECSS-members NWIP Information of NWI via Focal Points and Feedback and agreement of the leading organisation Call for Participants CCSDS ECSS Call for Participants Identification of common interest and set up of a common WG * WG-Draft (Red Book) CCSDS ECSS WG WG-Draft Leading SDO * Agencies Review CCSDS / ECSS EP Panel/Public Review Draft Update WG WG Draft Update Update Approval CESG ECSS EP Update Approval Blue Book (Appr. Doc.) CMC ECSS SB SB-Approval and Publication Communicate decisions via focal points ISO-Entry (Cover Sheet Method) ISO SC13 ISO-Entry (National Standardisation Bodies) ISO SC14 ISO-Standard recognised by ECSS CCSDS – ECSS Synergy * in general CCSDS-WG with ECSS participants, incl. Industry CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  6. ESA level of contribution • According plan in 2004 • 2 my ESA staff • 4 my support contractors • Temporary budget difficulties in 2005 • Less contractual support (only 3 my) • Less missions ►more teleconf / email • Should be nominal again in 2006 possibly strengthened through ECSS participation CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  7. Meeting Location • Initial intent of CCSDS reorganisation • Less co-location, more manageable meetings • Responsibility and flexibility given to CESG and Areas • However still almost full co-location at Fall and Spring CMC meetings • Requirements / Constraints • CMC needs to meet at other places than OMG (e.g. inviting Agencies) • CMC does not need to meet with OMG • Meeting with OMG mainly required for CESG and some Areas only • Co-location with OMG is interesting • Because they take care of the full organisation • Is advantageous if we use it fully • If it goes in parallel with a meaningful / fruitful cooperation • Possible continuation with OMG • Full CCSDS / CMC co-location as now • CMC may meet at other places if needed and would require attendance of CESG Chair + Co-Chair + (exceptionally) some ADs CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  8. OMG Organisation • For a first time the organisation has been smooth and satisfactory • CCSDS has to pass requirements • Meeting rooms: number, size, dates • Supporting facilities: printers, beamers, connections • Should this not be done by CESG and Secretary ? • How to handle participation fees ? • Maybe too expensive for most of the participating Agencies (~ 15 – 20 K€) • Fees per participant seems more appropriate • How to deal with invitation for some Delegations requiring a visa ? CMC - Athens - ESA Report

  9. Cooperation with OMG • OMG is initiating without consulting CCSDS a number of important RFPs that fall in CCSDS (SE / MOIMS) area • Initiative driven by Industry push • Same Industry is not motivated to participate to CCSDS • CCSDS too Agency dominated ? • More freedom for Industry in OMG ? • Watch out cooperation / discussions with OMG in Athens • Re-activate CCSDS / OMG WG to address issues and on continuation • Information’s Technology matters by nature in OMG • OMG standards are eventually also becoming ISO standards • In which TC ?
