5.2.2.2 System Control Functions<br />

5.2.2.2.1 Core Objective<br />

As primary goal, the System Control functions aim at providing the necessary means to<br />

control, monitor, assess, and fine tune the <strong>PDGS</strong> towards its goals and to mature its<br />

evolutions.<br />

5.2.2.2.2 Design Drivers<br />

The main drivers shared by system-control functions are mostly driven by the Mission-<br />

Support services characteristics including the baseline requirements for system evolutions<br />

defined in section 4.6 and extensions through third-party collaborations as described in<br />

4.10.2. Associated drivers are highlighted such as:<br />

○ The reliability of service for the accurate management of the overall system<br />

configuration according to the HLOP and its derived plans and throughout mission<br />

phase changes;<br />

○ The operational reliability, availability, maintainability of all <strong>PDGS</strong> services versus their<br />

stakeholders such as the FOS and downstream data consumers, including during<br />

specific phase-in activities of new spacecraft units or EDRS.<br />

○ The well-controlled performance of the <strong>PDGS</strong>, the FOS and the space-segment vis-àvis<br />

the availability, timeliness and quality of all products delivered and of the mission as<br />

a whole;<br />

○ The operational assessment and monitoring of the <strong>PDGS</strong> sub-systems functioning and<br />

performance in operations following well-defined procedures for anomaly<br />

management, preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance;<br />

○ The long-term outlook of the <strong>PDGS</strong> services within the <strong>GSC</strong> in terms of flexibility and<br />

evolution capability it will be required to cover;<br />

○ The long-term sustainability of <strong>PDGS</strong> operations.<br />

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

○ To support the POM in its responsibilities (cf. section 4.2.1) the <strong>PDGS</strong> design shall<br />

feature a well-defined mission-control-loop directly responding to the services<br />

described in section 4.10.3 in providing the appropriate leverages on the main <strong>PDGS</strong><br />

configurable elements systematically complemented by feedback visibility and<br />

measures on the associated performance.<br />

○ Taking advantage of the systematic and near-deterministic nature of the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2<br />

data-acquisition plan, the mission planning and mission performance assessment and<br />

control activities aims for a near-autonomous and automated behaviour to the<br />

maximum feasible extent;<br />

○ The required long-term operational sustainability of the <strong>PDGS</strong> operations imposes a<br />

high-level of maturity to all system-management activities following well-defined<br />

procedures supported by widely used system management tools embedding<br />

computer-based automation when relevant;<br />
