Overview
Project Title	Pointing Requests Message
Approval	Approved
Document Number	509.0
Charter	2.02 Navigation Working Group
Document Type	Blue
Description of Document	The Pointing Request Message (PRM) allows space agencies and operators to exchange information in a standardized format about a requested pointing of a spacecraft. These can be requested (sequences of) changes of the attitude of the spacecraft or of an articulate spacecraft component. The PRM facilitates interoperability between space agencies; e.g., where Agency/Operator A operates a spacecraft which provides a relay for a rover operated by Agency/Operator B or where an instrument owned and operated by Agency/Operator A is embarked on a spacecraft operated by Agency/Operator B. It can be used internally within a single agency or organization as well.
