The Interoperability Plenary Meeting was held at ESA Headquarters on 21-22 June 1999. During the 1 1/2 day meeting, representatives from seven international space agencies met to discuss and agree on the need for increased interoperability and the method for its implementation. Prior to the Plenary meeting, a survey and individual discussions had determined that the focus should be ground system interoperability.
