Action
JAXA to check the uplink ranging tones frequency for Planet-C support
2
Jaxa shall check on maximum Planet C telemetry rate and subcarrier position, to determine
whether telemetry subcarrier can be used to perform Delta-DOR
The results shown highlight that DSN/DSN and DSN/ESA baselines do not match with
DSN/Jaxa baseline
The reason for that is under investigation
NASA to verify that the request for the 2009 campaign is issued

(typically in January 2010) and check whether such support can be requested also for PlanetC
JAXA to formalise request for support from ESA for Hayabusa re-entry (2010) by
September 2009 in the frame of annual JAXA/ESA meeting
Each WG member to go back and check existing implementations in terms of: Digital and
analogue frequency/phase synthesis in d/l Related correlation algorithms
Future expansions and come back with proposals for the “grey” parameters  by 1st of June
Review of the above inputs  by 1st of July
Consolidated proposal for the “grey” parameters by end of September
Same process for the “yellow” parameters, but the cycle will be closed by 1st of July
As a result, by mid of October a revised Blue Book draft will be compiled
