Draft documents are subject to change, and the draft CCSDS Recommendation referenced here does not necessarily represent consensus technical agreement among the CCSDS Member Agencies.

The Management Council of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) has authorized the publication, and requests Agency review, of the following document:

The Orbit Data Message (ODM) Recommended Standard specifies message formats for use in transferring spacecraft orbit information between space agencies and commercial or governmental spacecraft operators. The current draft update adds Orbit Comprehensive Message, adds MESSAGE_ID keyword to existing messages (OPM, OMM, and OEM), discontinues 'Checklist ICD', creates a new SANA Registry for normative keyword values for navigation messages, and adds several annexes for example and supplementary material.

Each review comment should be submitted on a separate Review Item Disposition (RID) form. Submission of RIDs in electronic form is preferred. The following ASCII RID forms are available (click on form name to access):
