4.3.10.5 Contact Overlap Management Constraints<br />

Specific operation constraints of the CGS network may have to be considered for optimisation<br />

purposes related to the management of overlapping downlink opportunities within the<br />

network. Although mostly applying to the case of complementary polar X-Band CGSs more<br />

inclined to share a common coverage of the LEO orbit (e.g. Svalbard, Kiruna, Tromsoe, etc),<br />

optimisation may have to be generalised in particular for the relative apportioning of X-Band<br />

ground-station contacts with respect to time-overlapping data-relay contacts when EDRS<br />

capabilities will be included.<br />

4.3.11 CONSTRAINTS AND DEPENDENCIES DRIVEN BY THE EDRS<br />

EXPLOITATION SEGMENT<br />

Besides the constraints strictly linked to the use of the OCP (cf. section 4.3.8.6), the multimission<br />

intended usage of EDRS, in particular regarding its parallel usage by the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-1<br />

and <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 missions imposes that access to the EDRS resource is apportioned between<br />

<strong>Sentinel</strong>-1 and <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2. For this purpose, the <strong>PDGS</strong> accounts for a specific interface to the<br />

EDRS exploitation segment (cf. section 4.2.1).<br />

As per the current assumptions described in sections 3.7.1, a constellation of a TBD number<br />

of EDRS relay spacecrafts is considered, each one characterised by a given position on the<br />

GEO orbit and with identical characteristics in terms of data-rate supported (520Mbps end-toend)<br />

and required reception hardware on-ground.<br />

It is further assumed that the apportioned availability of the EDRS constellation to <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2<br />

will be pre-defined at static times phased along the <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 orbit repeat cycle, following a<br />

preliminary agreement with the EDRS exploitation segment in coordination with <strong>Sentinel</strong>-1.<br />

The above elements will drive the <strong>PDGS</strong> operations regarding the planned mission evolution<br />

specific to <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 introduced previously in paragraph 3.7.2.<br />
