The UK Space Agency has commissioned technical support to ensure that the working level technical activities of the space standards bodies; Consultative
Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), Inter-
Operability Advisory Group (IOAG) and European
Ground System - Common Core (EGS-CC) are supported. This work will be carried out in a coordination and sometimes advisory function, but one at a very technical level that demands key competences - technical knowledge, organisational or individual qualifications in space engineering, operations, and applications themselves. Providers of this technical support are required to be suitably objective and independent from financial involvement in the markets covered by the relevant standards - a requirement mandated by the standards agreements themselves.
