The update of the MSI Packet-Store Management strategy, which is presented in section<br />

4.5.4.2.2, ensures the required margins in the input data-flow to the level 1 processing (3 MSI<br />

scenes preceding each time-continuous segment) are embedded in the space-to-ground<br />

downlinks to produce a continuous level 1 timeline along all the Datastrips.<br />

4.5.4.5.3 Level-1A and Level-1B Processing<br />

4.5.4.5.3.1 Ancillary-Data Handling<br />

As highlighted previously, the on-board recorded Ancillary-Data is required for MSI Level-1<br />

processing and is recovered by playback separately to the MSI data. Nevertheless, the<br />

downlink strategy defined in 4.5.4.2.3 will ensure that the Ancillary-Data coinciding in time<br />

with every MSI Datastrip will be available on-ground contemporaneously at the term of every<br />

downlink.<br />

Hence, whilst the Level-0 initial processing will be performed in real-time in parallel to datareception<br />

operations, Level-0 consolidation and Level-1 processing activities will be delayed<br />

as triggered after the recovery on-ground of the Ancillary-Data at the end of every satellite<br />

pass.<br />

Ancillary-Data will be ingested together with the MSI raw-data at the beginning of the Level-0<br />

consolidation processing sequence and used seamlessly through the algorithmic steps by<br />

time-correlation with the MSI data.<br />

4.5.4.5.3.2 Datation Refinement<br />

The datation refinement will not be nominally performed as justified in section 4.3.9.2.1.<br />

Nevertheless, to provision for a possible contingency on the on-board datation process,<br />

Level-1 processing will optionally support the generation and handling of a refined datation<br />

model. The generation of this ancillary data by the <strong>PDGS</strong> is currently not foreseen but will be<br />

accommodated if required as a change to solve this eventual contingency.<br />

In addition, datation accuracy will be monitored in the <strong>PDGS</strong> as part of nominal and recurrent<br />

quality control procedures (e.g. on a monthly basis).<br />
