1 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 1 In-Orbit Commissioning Phase: High Level Planning

2 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 2 Changes from last issue - Plan takes into account that 2 Nov 2009 is Monday - Christmas holidays (from 24-Dec-09 till 2-Jan-10) have been included - Weeks 24 and 25 have been removed accordingly - Order of external calibration manoeuvres in Week 2 as proposed by CNES - LO high rate (2 min) calibration only in Week 4 (lower rate later) - Additional Dual vs Full-pol mode sky view in Week 7 - FTR Acquisition Criteria have been added - Timelines for S-band and SADM effects have been added - Slide number has been added - Navigation buttons added to go from overall plan to weekly plan and back

4 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 4 IOCP Main Phases The In-Orbit Commissioning Phase comprises 4 main phases: - Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) - Switch-On and Data Acquisition Phase (SODAP) - MIRAS Payload Commissioning - Pseudo-Operational Phase alternating dual and full-pol modes

5 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 5 IOCP Key Points Four Key Points are proposed: - KP0: Decision point to start the MIRAS Payload Commissioning - KP1: Decision point to start the Pseudo-Operational Phase - KP2: Decision point to define final calibration strategy Evaluation of L1 & L2 data product quality, and release to SVRT - KP3: Decision point to freeze calibration and operational mode

16 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 16 PLM Switch ON LEOP LEOP comprises the launch, orbit injection and platform commissioning. During LEOP the payload is OFF (except for a short partial switch-on just before antenna deployment). LEOP is expected to be less than 2.5 weeks long. LEOP is described in Section 4.1 of the Commissioning Plan. Payload is switched on in Day 14 of LEOP. LAUNCH

17 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 17 SODAP Week 1Week 2Week 3 SODAP comprises the RF Link Test, the ESAC MINI Test and the Svalbard MINI Test, each one 1 week long. During SODAP the payload is ON. SODAP comprises the first 3 weeks after LEOP. First two weeks include also some Platform Commissioning activities. SODAP is described in Sections 4.2 through 4.5 of the Commissioning Plan. Key Point 0: decision to start the MIRAS Payload Commissioning / first pointing correction estimation (geolocation estimate) / first L1-L2 collocation / DPGS working up to level L1 (dual) and L2 / 0

18 IOCP High Level Plan, 8 September 2009 18 SODAP Activities Week 1Week 2Week 3 SODAP activities have been defined by the SODAP team. It is proposed to attempt a first long cal, external calibration to get the Flat Target Response (section 4.6.4) and first image acquisition (section 4.6.6), all in dual-pol, at Week 3, and if failed, at Week 4. A correlator test will precede those attempts (section 4.6.2). For the image acquisition dual-pol with LO calibration is needed. During SODAP L1PP shall concentrate on the identified areas (Madagascar, Mid-Pacific Ocean…). 0
