○ Making best possible usage of the overall downlink budget available through the CGS<br />

network in this respect.<br />

This section describes the approach followed referring when relevant to all operation<br />

constraints applicable to this process listed in section 4.3.<br />

4.5.4.2.1 Problem Logic<br />

This section summarises the overall logic applicable to the definition of the downlink scenario,<br />

starting from the characterisation of the CGS network and ending at the recurrent detailed<br />

downlink planning fulfilling all operation constraints applicable to the process.<br />

The <strong>PDGS</strong> mission-planning operations will follow the logic described here as four-steps<br />

approach:<br />

○ In a first step, the CGS resources globally selected to support the data reception from<br />

the <strong>GSC</strong> <strong>Sentinel</strong>s will be characterised for use within the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 <strong>PDGS</strong>. This step<br />

will embed a first level of optimisation aimed at mapping at best the high-level scenario<br />

within the <strong>PDGS</strong> end-to-end operation objectives, constraints (cf. section 4.3.10.4) and<br />

target performance (e.g. timeliness);<br />

○ In a second step, the characterised downlink resources will be mapped to each<br />

<strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 spacecraft. This will include the necessary allocations dedicated to <strong>Sentinel</strong>-<br />

2 amongst the other <strong>Sentinel</strong>s and a first-level of load-balancing optimisation among<br />

the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 spacecrafts resulting in a coarse downlink budget applicable to each<br />

spacecraft;<br />

○ In a third step, the detailed downlink scenario will be derived based on the actual MSI<br />

acquisition plan, the data-timeliness priorities set in the HLOP and will implement all<br />

operation constraints not taken into account in the previous steps. This step will finally<br />

trigger the mission planning loop with the FOS to carry out spacecraft scheduling;<br />

○ In a last step, the ground stations (CGS and LGS) will be scheduled for acquisition.<br />

The two first steps will be carried out at least once in an initial interactive configuration<br />

operation. They will be repeated as needed following HLOP high-level changes, evolutions in<br />

the CGS network resources or their relative apportionments to <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2, or to perform<br />

general load-balancing optimisations.<br />

In counterpart, the third step will be automated and embedded in the recurrent missionplanning<br />

activity performed in closed-loop with the FOS (cf. section 4.5.3.1.1).<br />

The last step will be triggered independently based on the detailed downlink plan settled at<br />

the term of step-three and according to the ground station scheduling constraints (typically<br />

daily).<br />

The following paragraphs detail this four-step logic.<br />

4.5.4.2.1.1 Characterisation of the CGS Resources<br />

This first configuration step aims at globally characterising the CGS resources and providing<br />

an apportionment of their usage in the overall distributed data-recovery scenario mapped to<br />

their physical capabilities (e.g. accessibility and sizing).<br />
