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

○ The <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 spacecrafts and in particular the MSI instrument featuring leading-edge<br />

technology coupled with the stiff requirements imposed on the accuracy of the final<br />

products impose that a certain number of critical tasks are assumed interactively by<br />

experts teams rather than fully automated in particular in the MSI performance and<br />

product quality control areas;<br />

○ The gradual phase-in of spacecrafts in the constellation as well as EDRS during<br />

operations imposes strict configuration control mechanisms for the accurate<br />

management of the software, hardware and of the overall <strong>PDGS</strong> configuration<br />

especially during the transitory phases separating operational scenarios.<br />

It also imposes that the <strong>PDGS</strong> functions are designed with multi-spacecraft embedded<br />

features since the beginning allowing to clearly discriminating the <strong>PDGS</strong> configuration<br />

applicable to each spacecraft on a logical point of view;<br />

○ Lessons learnt coupled with the long-term outlook of the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 mission imposes<br />

that the planning capabilities be flexible and include room for evolutions with respect to<br />

the strict baseline defined at present;<br />

○ The non a-priori knowledge of the EDRS OCP exploitation methods and constraints at<br />

the time of design imposes additional flexibility in the mission planning element to allow<br />

for a swift and optimal assimilation of EDRS capabilities when they will be better<br />

defined and/or measured;<br />

○ The cross dependencies between the LGS downlink opportunities and the nominal<br />

data recovery plan to the CGS network impose that the mission planning capabilities<br />

allow for optimising the direct-downlink opportunities to LGS throughout the mission<br />

plan within the constraints settled for the nominal mission;<br />

○ The fostering and effective implementation of collaborative <strong>PDGS</strong> opportunities will<br />

impose that specific technical support is provided towards the peer entities with<br />

mission management feedback to guarantee the appropriate definitions and successes<br />

of the collaborations.<br />

functions is depicted on Figure 5-2.<br />
