Overview
Project Title	Conjunction Data Message 5 Year Review Revision
Approval	Approved
Document Number	508.0
Charter	2.02 Navigation Working Group
Document Type	Blue
Description of Document	The Conjunction Data Message (CDM) specifies a standard message format for use in exchanging spacecraft conjunction information between originators of conjunction assessments and satellite owner/operators and other authorized parties. Such exchanges provide critical information to satellite owner/operators to enable timely collision avoidance decisions. The CDM is applicable to satellite operations in all environments in which close approaches and collisions among satellites are concerns.
Applicable Patents	There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community
Patent Comments
Survey of Similar Standards Documents or Projects Undertaken in Other Bodies and elsewhere in CCSDS	None that we know of. This is a revision of an existing, widely used international standard.
