Reed Solomon FEC), time annotation of telemetry data and real-time storage.. In<br />

parallel, the acquired raw data will be supplied in real-time to downstream <strong>PDGS</strong><br />

functions for further elaboration.<br />

Demodulation and front-end processing will be performed in parallel onto two redundant<br />

equipments to provide for reliability. A single equipment will be configured for nominal<br />

autonomous downstream data-supply operations to the Level-0 processing chain. The<br />

second unit will be used on contingency (cf. section 4.5.4.3.2).<br />

4.5.4.3 Real-Time Data Downlinks to Local Stations<br />

As anticipated in section 4.2.7, the <strong>PDGS</strong> will accommodate LGS real-time downlinks in the<br />

mission plan. This operation will be based on a predefined network of LGS granted through<br />

HLOP for direct-downlink access.<br />

4.5.4.3.1 Planning Strategy<br />

At each mission-planning session (cf. 4.5.3.1.1) and after the preliminary downlink plan to the<br />

CGS network has been settled, additional opportunities for real-time transmission left in the<br />

X-Band downlink budget (cf. section 4.3.8.4) will be computed. An ancillary data playback will<br />

systematically be appended at the term of each RT opportunity as described in paragraph<br />

4.5.4.2.3 and further detailed in [AD-03]. The resulting plan will be merged in the nominal<br />

mission-plan fed to the FOS.<br />

As mentioned earlier, the prospects of a core mission data-recovery scenario to a CGS<br />

network including X-Band ground-stations appointed to receive RT data (e.g. over Europe)<br />

will enhance the possibility to serve a coinciding LGS network. In this case, the Ancillary<br />

packet store enabling MSI processing might require two successive downlinks:<br />

○ A first one at the term of the core RT downlink in such a way that it can be received by<br />

the coinciding LGS network;<br />

○ A second one placed immediately after a possibly trailing NRT/Nominal playback<br />

commanded following the RT segment to take benefit of the remains of the core station<br />

visibility.<br />

Figure 4-22 depicts an example of this scenario whereby a core RT downlink over a CGS<br />

located in Europe is received in parallel by two coinciding LGSs, LGS1 and LGS2.<br />

It successively features:<br />

○ One continuous RT segment covering the European zone acquired entirely in the CGS<br />

and in parts by LGS1 and LGS2;<br />

○ One Ancillary-Data playback at the term of the European coverage RT acquisition<br />

dedicated to enabling MSI data-processing in LGS stations;<br />

○ One playback segment of on-board recorded MSI data (NRT, Nominal or both) taking<br />

benefit of the remaining CGS visibility whilst RT is no more required;<br />

○ One trailing Ancillary-Data playback at the end of the CGS visibility to enable MSI<br />

data-processing at the CGS.<br />
