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 XML Specification for Navigation Data Messages Recommended Standard describes an integrated XML schema set that is suited to interagency exchanges of navigation data messages.
