 # Message Types
-* Each message below will be treated as the `payload` that are wrapped in a `full_message_format` that includes a `message_header`.

+Each message below will be treated as the `payload` that are wrapped in a `full_message_format` that includes a `message_header`:
+* `mission_plan`: these would be two message types, i. encoded (platform-specific serialized message) and ii. parsed, human-readable message.
+* `platform_status`: these would be two message types, i. encoded (platform-specific serialized message) and ii. parsed, human-readable message.
+* `observation`: this would be desired scientific data sent by the platform
+* `acknowledgement`: level of acknowledgment where an acknowledgement is sent when a message is i. received, ii. sent to the next destination (e.g. platform in the water).

-## Breakdown of Message Sources & Types
-
-### 1/ Autonomy Engine
-#### Transmit
-* mission plan _(sent per platform??)_
-* TBD: 
-    * Will emergency commands be sent via the autonomy engine (from the GUI) or directly to the C2s?
-
-#### Receive
-* configuration file
-* emergency stop all
-* decoded ecosub status message
-* decoded reav status message
-* decoded autosub-hover status message
-* decoded ecosub observation data _(from squad 1 platforms)_
-
-----------------------------------
-
-### 2/ Ecosub C2
-#### Transmit
-* compiled ecosub mission plan
-* decoded ecosub status message
-* autonomy configuration file
-* decoded ecosub observation data
-
-
-#### Receive
-* mission plan
-* encoded ecosub status message
-* encoded ecosub observation data
-
-----------------------------------
-
-### 3/ Autosub C2 
-#### Transmit
-* compiled autosub-hover mission plan
-* decoded autosub-hover status message
-* autonomy configuration file
-
-
-#### Receive
-* mission plan
-* encoded autosub-hover status message
-
-
-----------------------------------
-
-### 4/ Reav C2 
-#### Transmit
-* decoded reav-60 status message?
-
-
-#### Receive
-* mission plan
-* encoded reav-60 status message?
-
-----------------------------------
-
-### 5/ Hermes Box/Hydrosurv Smart Router? 
-#### Transmit
-* encoded ecosub status message
-* encoded (or is this already decoded?) reav status message
-* encoded autosub status message
-* encoded ecosub observation data
-* TBD: 
-    * are there acknowledgment messages from platforms?
-    * how are we receiving beacon messages per platform?
-
-#### Receive
-* compiled ecosub mission plan
-* compiled reav mission plan
-* compiled autosub mission plan
-* compiled ecosub emergency command
-* compiled reav emergency command
-* compiled autosub emergency command
