Overview
Project Title	Mission Operations - Message Abstraction Layer Binding to ZeroMQ Message Transport Protocol
Approval	Approved
Document Number	524.4
Charter	2.04 Spacecraft Monitoring and Control Working Group
Document Type	Blue
Description of Document	MAL technology binding to ZeroMQ transport a yet TBD binary encoding. The binary encoding may be one of the three existing encoding or a combination. Hence "CNES" is a placeholder for the actual name of the encoding.
Applicable Patents	There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community

Resources
Book Editor	CNES
Book Editor Resources	6mm. The specification of MO bindings to a transport and encoding is not a complext conceptual matter but more a question of a mapping. The existing SPP blue book provides a good template for producing other binding specifications. However a major part of the work is already done in the context of a parallel CNES activity (outside CCSDS), which shall produce a draft specification in the expected Blue Book format. Hence it is expected that 1mm of effort shall be needed in the WG for the review and finalisation of the book.
Prototype 1	CNES
Prototype 1 Resources	3mm In the context of the above mentioned CNES activity a prototype will also be implemented.
