Scope
Purpose: The Observing System Data Message (OSDM) is a standard message format to be used in the exchange of optical telescope@ laser ranging station@ and radar (observing systems) information between Space situational Awareness (SSA) data providers@ owners/operators of observing systems@ and other parties. These messages can inform SSA data providers@ which are the consumers of observing system output data@ on the parameters of the observing systems. The OSDM standard will: a) enable consistent data exchange between observation data providers and SSA systems; b) facilitate data exchange automation and ingestion of observation data from different providers; c) facilitate SSA system architecture performance simulations; and d) provide a quick way to estimate the expected performance from one observing system. Applicability: The Observing System Data Message standard is applicable to all SSA activities@ especially Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) and near-Earth objects (NEO)@ and other fields where the acquisition of astrometric and photometric data plays a role (e.g. space debris@ observational astronomy). The standard contains a message designed to contain observing system parameters exchanged between producers and consumers of astrometric and/or photometric data. These data include observing system name@ location@ type (optical adar)@ operator and tracking/survey performance. The OSDM is suitable for both manual and automated interaction@ but will not contain a large amount of data. The message is self contained and can be paired with several Tracking Data Messages (TDM ?C specified reference [1])@ FITS images (specified in reference [2])@ or other formats containing the observation data. The OSDM standard only applies to the message format@ structure and content. The exchange method is beyond the scope of the standard@ and it is due to be specified in an ICD@ though an ICD is not always required. The methods used to produce the data in the message are also beyond the scope of the standard. Document structure: Clause 5 provides an overview of the OSDM. Clause 6 described the structure and content of the 'keyword = value' (KVN) version of the OSDM. Clause 7 described the strucuture and content of the XML version of the OSDM. Clause 8 describes the data and syntax of OSDM messages@ in both KVN and XML. Annex A lists agreed values for some of the OSDM keywords. Annex B presents some examples of OSDMs.
