1 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Rosetta Science Operations The planning concept - current status Detlef Koschny Space Science Department ESA/ESTEC Detlef.Koschny@esa.int Naming conventions Science operations planning - general remarks The three planning cycles Presented at the Rosetta Science Operations Working Group Meeting (SOWG) #5, 11 Jul 2001

2 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Naming conventions - I Mission phase:  Based on the CREMA but subject to modifications depending on the activities to be performed in the individual phases, defined in the EID C  Major time division of the Rosetta mission  Mission phase has a definite start event and end event  Example: Far approach phase (FAT) - starts when Comet Acquisition Point (CAP) is reached, ends when Approach Transition Point (ATP) is reached Mission scenario:  A part of the mission fulfilling a certain set of science goals  Typically requires a dedicated trajectory  Within one mission phase, mission scenarios can be repeated more than one time  Example: Dust/gas jet sampling, Interference scenario

3 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Naming conventions - II Science Activity Plan (SAP):  A list of mission scenarios for the complete mission phase  ESOC expects one SAP before each mission phase Master Science Plan (MSP):  The MSP describes the science operations for one given mission scenario on top level  Contains a list of the planned experiment operations, at least down to mode level (see tutorial on EPS, mode transition diagram, later in this meeting)  Contains the requested trajectory of the spacecraft  Contains the requested pointing of the spacecraft

4 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Science operations planning - general remarks  In commissioning phase: “procedural” approach with Flight Control Procedures (FCPs)  Cruise, fly-bys: Transition to usage of Orbiter Instrument Operations Request (OIOR) and Lander Operations Request (LOR) files  Latest in comet phase: A three-step approach will be used (contents of the three cycles slightly changed as a result of the last review, especially lessons learnt from NEAR-Shoemaker and Cassini):  Long-term planning  Medium-term planning  Short-term planning  All operational timelines will be uploaded to the spacecraft in a “Mission Timeline” which will be executed autonomously on board. The Mission Timeline is valid for typically a few days.

5 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 The three planning cycles - I Long-term planning:  Goal: A baseline SAP shall be available before each mission phase.  Activities:  Scenario development (scenario description, Master Science Plan)  Science Activity Plan (SAP) development  Schedule: Has started already (see “Pointing Scenario” discussion, this meeting). Covers the complete mission Medium-term planning:  Goal: Ensure that the planning process was done at least once in all detail (fly-bys, comet phase)  Activities:  For each mission scenario, generate baseline POR file (based on baseline SAP, baseline scenarios)  Build up a “library” for operations  Schedule: ca. 2 years before Comet Acquisition Point is reached. Covers the comet phase (fly-by phases)

6 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 The three planning cycles - II Short-term planning:  Goal: To actually perform the science operations at the comet  Activities:  POR file generation  Update SAP and scenario plans only if needed  Schedule: After Comet Acquisition Point is reached, until end of mission. Typically one planning period will cover one week

7 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 PTB simulations EPS mode level checks Long-term planning - scenario development Experi- menter RSOC RMOC Produce science requests, document in EID-B, UMs,SWT... Group science requests, formulate science goals for given scenario Produce Scenario Para- meter List (SPL) Create a sample trajectory, pointing, slewing Flight Dynamics Team to comment Compile baseline scenario document with descriptive text, trajectory, mode- level ops, pointing, events, detailed ops where needed Provide inputs Iterate FDT and FCT to provide inputs SOWG Meeting Final scenario description, Master Science Plan

8 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Long-term planning - Science Activity Plan development Experi- menter RSOC Trajectories from scenario studies Prioritise scenarios, put low-risk items in beginning Science requests vs. time in mission, document in EID-B, UMs,SWT... Order scenarios Compile draft Science Activity Plan (SAP) Iterate Provide inputs SOWG Meeting FDT and FCT to provide inputs Baseline Science Activity Plan (SAP) RMOC

9 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Medium-term planning - POR file generation Experi- menter RSOC RMOC Update Scenario Parameter List (SPL) FDT produces new predicted trajectory info: -> pointing + slewing boundaries -> event file -> trajectory (x/y/z) Update Master Science Plan (MSP) with new pointing; propose changes to mode level ops of experiments Fill in detailed ops, possibly update pointing requests -Update final pointing requests -Update consolidated POR file -Check for conflicts Iteration Provide inputs Final PTR POR FDT produces final real pointing Iteration Provide inputs Final POR to Flight Control Team FDT = Flight Dynamics Team

10 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Short-term planning - POR file generation Experi- menter RSOC RMOC Update Scenario Parameter List (SPL) FDT produces new predicted trajectory info: -> pointing + slewing boundaries (FTL file) -> events (OEF) -> trajectory (x/y/z) Update Master Science Plan (MSP) with new pointing; propose changes to mode level ops of experiments Fill in detailed ops, possibly update pointing requests -Update final pointing requests -Update consolidated POR file -Check for conflicts Iteration Provide inputs Final PTR POR FDT produces final real pointing, update FTL Iteration Provide inputs Final POR to Flight Control Team NOTE: The dotted boxes will be done under major time pressure (lesson learnt from NEAR experience) FDT = Flight Dynamics Team

11 Solar System Division DVK, 10 Jul 2001 Mission scenarios – Tutorial examples Pointing scenario  “Science” goal: (a) Point to a certain star, the Earth, or the Moon. This will allow the experimenter to calibrate their experiments. (b) Measure the co-alignment of the Navigation Cameras (CAM), the Star Trackers (STR), and the remote-sensing experiments.  Trajectory: Don’t care.  Priority experiments: All remote-sensing instruments Interference scenario  “Science” goal: To operate experiments in parallel to find potential conflicts.  Trajectory: Don’t care.  Priority experiments: Depends on details.
