Resources
Book Editor	ESA
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 ESA activity (outside CCSDS), which has produced 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	ESA
Prototype 1 Resources	3 mm. See the point above. A PoC will also be implemented as part of the above mentioned ESA parallel activity.
Prototype 2	NASA
Prototype 2 Resources
Prototype 3
Prototype 3 Resources
Contribute	CNES, DLR, NASA, UKSA
Monitor Only	JAXA
Resource Comments	see the comments above. In the context of an already approved and funded ESA/NASA-JPL MO prototype it is planned to use HTTP communication and XML encoding, based on the available white book. Hence this activity will contribute to the improvement of the book and to its prototyping, resulting in less required effort for the final review and prototyping activity in the CCSDS context.
