SPSRB Common Standards Working Group Overview
The SPSRB common standards working group (CSWG) recommends standards and best practices to the
SPSRB for adoption among the participating organizations. Such standards aid in the transition
as satellite products go from research to operations by creating universal baselines for
documentation and coding practices.
The process by which a standard is approved is outlined as follows. Documents and standards are
drafted cumulatively by the CSWG and approved as a final draft by group member vote. Standards
group leaders then formally present the document to the SPSRB process improvement working group
(SPIWG) where it undergoes a 30-day period of review. During this period, comments on the
document are requested from affiliated personnel. The CSWG then reviews all remarks for potential
incorporation into the document. After the 30-day period, the SPSRB is briefed on the resultant
document. If deemed acceptable by the SPSRB, the document is approved as an official SPSRB standard
and the final document is posted within this webpage. All participating organizations are expected
to comply with these approved standards.
Reevaluation and additional comments on all standards are continually encouraged as they are
evolving documents. Moreover, the SPSRB common standards working group shall fully review them
bi-annually.
Project leads are encouraged to implement the standards into a new project or one where the older
code is undergoing a significant update. Existing code will not have to be retrofitted to conform
to standards, but the SPSRB intends that new projects as of FY2010 are required to satisfy these
standards.
