○ OCP downlink commanding will be performed via the FOS similarly to X-Band<br />

downlinks;<br />

○ The FOS will require that the <strong>PDGS</strong> provides the location (or identification) of the<br />

EDRS spacecraft associated to a data-relay downlink to allow consistent commanding<br />

of OCP pointing activities towards the relay GEO transponder;<br />

○ The FOS will transparently take charge of commanding the OCP preparatory<br />

operations required for an effective downlink according to the <strong>PDGS</strong> provided<br />

downlink segments.<br />

As per the above assumptions, the commanding of OCP operations vis-à-vis the FOS will be<br />

managed by the <strong>PDGS</strong> similarly to the case of X-Band downlinks, with additional<br />

parameterisation of the downlink requests related to the identification of the EDRS GEO<br />

spacecraft required by the FOS to manage OCP pointing and activation activities.<br />

Regarding the <strong>PDGS</strong> interface to the EDRS exploitation segment, no recurrent and dynamic<br />

scheduling will apply.<br />

4.5.3.1.3 <strong>PDGS</strong> Downstream Planning and Scheduling Operations<br />

To a high-level, the <strong>PDGS</strong> operations will be entirely driven by the raw-data downlinked from<br />

the spacecrafts supported by complementary deterministic and predefined schedules of<br />

activities targeting mission performance overall assessment and control (cf. next paragraph).<br />

Hence, there will be very limited explicit planning of the <strong>PDGS</strong> operations beyond the<br />

scheduling of data-reception operations at the CGS network that will trigger most of all<br />

downstream operations in cascade and in a systematic manner. Those operations are<br />

outlined in section 4.5.6.<br />

In addition, data-reception at the LGS network will be scheduled as described in section<br />

4.5.4.3.<br />

4.5.3.2 Mission Performance Monitoring and Control Operations<br />

As a background task, the <strong>PDGS</strong> will perform routine monitoring of the mission performance<br />

and retrofit configuration changes as required to ensure the mission overall quality over time.<br />

The scope of this activity will comprehensively cover the performance monitoring of all<br />

mission elements including the spacecrafts and its payload, the FOS and the <strong>PDGS</strong> with<br />

particular focus on the availability, reliability and quality of the data delivered to end users<br />

according to HLOP mission quality targets.<br />

The monitoring of the product-quality and overall mission performance will be ensured<br />

through well-defined Quality-Control (QC) procedures. QC operations will be performed<br />

following a predefined and recurrent schedule such as e.g. daily, monthly or following the 10-<br />

days repeat cycle or in a data-driven manner on reception of specific data takes pre-planned<br />

for this purpose. They will cover:<br />

○ The systematic short to long-term assessment of the payload performance, the<br />

products quality and overall mission performance;<br />

○ The systematic retrofit on the system configurable items impacting on the mission<br />

performance based on the output of assessment activities.<br />
