• Continue development on Observation Facility Codes
• Get some prototype planetary reference frames incorporated into the Reference Frames vocabulary
  • This tutorial explains how the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) software defines (and uses) reference frames and coordinate systems: NAIF Frames and Coordinate Systems Tutorial
  • The list of IAU defined body-fixed frames is included in the NAIF software documentation on frames, as an appendix: direct link to "frames.html" second appendix
• Ensure convergence of the EPN-TAP dataproduct_type with the Data Product Type vocabulary.
• Support PDS/SBN efforts to exercise EPN-TAP and planetary additions to related protocols by implementing IVOA services on small data sets from several different planetary disciplines.
