<strong>GSC</strong> <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 <strong>PDGS</strong> <strong>OCD</strong><br />

Whilst the first group refers to the primary core duty of the <strong>PDGS</strong> of translating the satellite<br />

acquired data into data-access services to the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 product users, the second regroups<br />

all Functions required at system-level to control, manage and coordinate the overall system<br />

behaviour. Some specific Functions although relevant to both groups have been allocated to<br />

a specific one, with the logic that they mostly apply to the specificities of the allocated group<br />

by their primary functionality and main drivers.<br />

The last group includes all physical data communication functions between or within Data-<br />

Management or System-Control functions.<br />

The following paragraphs follow this first level decomposition and provide the second and<br />

final breakdown into the <strong>PDGS</strong> Functions.<br />

5.2.2.1 Data Management Functions<br />

5.2.2.1.1 Core Objective<br />

As primary goal, the Data-Management Functions aim at reliably and systematically<br />

transporting the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 constellation data from the antenna down to its authorised users<br />

into elaborated user-products of controlled quality, timeliness and access performances.<br />

5.2.2.1.2 Design Drivers<br />

The main drivers shared by all data-management functions are mostly driven by the Data-<br />

Access services characteristics complemented by the baseline requirements on the data<br />

products as defined in section 4.3. Associated drivers are highlighted such as:<br />

○ The reliability of service for the systematic and timely availability of products on-line at<br />

the user interfaces according to the baseline plan including NRT and daily timeliness at<br />

the latest;<br />

○ The uniform, well-defined and controlled quality of all products delivered;<br />

○ The capability for discovery of products according to user-defined criteria including<br />

time geographical coverage and cloud-cover;<br />

○ User-oriented supply mechanisms allowing the products to be delivered according to<br />

the strict user-needs in terms of format and contents;<br />

○ The high expected demand for <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 high-resolution optical products considering<br />

the open data-policy;<br />

○ The long-term outlook of the <strong>PDGS</strong> services for data-supply of daily refreshed data<br />

during the 7 to 12 years of each spacecraft lifetime and to be extended for 25 years<br />

beyond.<br />

On a functional design point of view, the following drivers and constraints are highlighted:<br />

○ The gradual phase-in of spacecrafts in the constellation during operations imposes that<br />

the data-management functions are designed with multi-spacecraft embedded features<br />

since the beginning allowing to clearly discriminate each spacecraft dataflow on a<br />

logical point of view;<br />
