Space professionals committed to greater interoperability, reduction in costs, schedule, and risk for space applications through increased space standardization.
The OMG SpaceDTF met in Burlingame December 6-7, 2017. Here are the meeting highlights:
XTCE
XTCE 1.2 proceeds towards adoption/publication. All outstanding issue resolutions have been balloted, and the RTF is working on schema verification with existing tools and XTCE documents. There may be some additional clean-up typos and minor issue resolutions, but the RTF report is likely to be submitted for the Reston meeting in March 2018.
C2MS
Goddard Mission Services Evolution Center (GMSEC) has drafted a model-based satellite command & control message specification (C2MS) that will be submitted to OMG as an RFC in Reston. This model specification is intended to support new platform-specific implementations of the messages and exchange patterns, including the US Air Force Enterprise Ground Services (EGS) initiative.
CubeSat Reference Model
It was determined that the best path forward for publishing the CubeSat Reference Model (CRM) is the normal RFP route. The RFP will be presented for publication at the Reston Meeting. The model being developed by INCOSE is expected as one submittal to that RFP. The desired CubeSat Reference Model is a SysML-based model to give university, non-profit, and commercial organizations a jump-start in engineering a new satellite mission system with a standard SysML framework for capturing the stakeholder needs, mission requirements, requirements traceability, and engineering studies.
