  13. Expertise in Mission Planning • Mission Planning Systems is one of the main niches of expertise of DEIMOS. • Mission Planning Systems is one of the most strategic lines of activity at DEIMOS. • DEIMOS has an important team working in Mission Planning activities composed of around 20 persons. This team accumulates the necessary expertise and can be increased reasonably, if needed. • DEIMOS has an important background in Mission Planning thanks to all the activities that we have conducted, since our creation. • DEIMOS has already developed software libraries and systems which are re-usable for developing Mission Planning Systems

  14. Mission Planning References • Since our creation in June 2001, DEIMOS has been involved in all the operational Mission Planning Systems for Earth Observation Missions for ESA: • ENVISAT: • MCF: Mission Planning for Payload and Ground Segment • RGT: Reference Operations Plan (ROP) Generator Tool • EMP: Envisat Mission Planning -> Evolution of MCF • Cryosat: • RPF: Reference Planning Facility • GOCE: • RPF: Reference Planning Facility

  15. Expertise in Mission Planning • ALOS: • MMC: Mission Planning Facility • SOR: Standing Order Request • MCI: Mission Coordination Centre Interface • Terrasar-L: • MPP: Mission Planning Prototype • Evolutions: • MPAS: Mission Planning and Analysis System (MCF, ALOS, GMES) • Galileo: • GAST: Galileo Analysis and Scheduling Tool (TTC, ULS scheduling)

  16. Mission Planning Activities • Reference Planning Facility: Envisat RGT, Cryosat RPF and now GOCE RPF. A RPF core, which can be used for different Earth Observation Missions is already available.

  17. Mission Planning Activities • Mission Software CFI: Envisat, Earth Explorer – (Cryosat, GOCE, ADM), ALOS, Terrasar-L Mission Planning Prototype • Highly configurability (new satellites could be defined only with configuration) • Specific mission dependent aspects has to be developed

  18. Mission Planning Activities • ENVISAT MCF: • IBM AIX • CSF, Envisat CFI • Oracle • Ilog Views, Maps • Highly Specific to Envisat mission: • Interfaces • Format of interface files • Mission Planning heuristic

  19. Mission Planning Activities • ALOS Mission Planning System • PC – Linux: Mission Planning • PC – Windows: Graphical Representation (GanttX, SatX from Taitus) • ALOS CS (specific) • ALOS CFI (based on Earth Explorer) • Based on Envisat background. No source code re-use: different interfaces, format and Envisat IBM/AIX.

  20. Mission Planning Activities • Currently DEIMOS is developing the EMP (Envisat Mission Planning): • Software layer on top of the MCF (minimum modifications to the MCF) • Reuse of ALOS Mission Planning Harness (e.g. TUSC interface, Linux-Windows interface for graphical representation). • Use of GanttX and SatX • Envisat CFI • Currently DEIMOS is working in the definition of MPAS (Mission Planning and Analysis System):

  21. Mission Planning Components • Earth Explorer Mission Software CFI • Reference Operations Plan Concept (e.g. RPF activities, MCI for ALOS) • Ground Segment File formats based on XML (e.g. based on Earth Explorer Mission Software CFI) • Mission Planning Interfaces for all interfaces, such as TUSC, FOS, Stations (valid for ESA) • Graphical Tools such as GanttX and SatX, developed by Taitus, and widely used by DEIMOS in mission planning systems, such as ALOS, Galileo and EMP. • Mission Planning modelling (e.g. SSR, acquisitions, instrument operations, area coverage, standing activities, etc) • Mission Planning data model (supported by Oracle database), where the mission plan is kept, allowing an incremental planning • Mission reporting (powered by using a performance monitoring system such as QUARC)

  22. Mission Planning Strategy • For each mission, dedicated mission planning systems has to be developed. Strong reuse of background is done, although not intensive reuse of code is being performed (e.g. Different platforms, interfaces, planning rules, etc) -> Standardisation would be an important step: • Standardisation in the ROP concept • Standardisation in the interfaces (e.g. TUSC, FOS, stations) • Standardisation of Ground Segment Common Services (e.g. communications, log, etc). • Standardisation of the HW platforms used (e.g. PC Linux) • Standardisation of Multi-mission and multi-satellite aspects (e.g. use of common resources such as ground stations). • Based on the above standardisation, a Mission Planning Harness easily customisable to different Earth Observation Missions would be possible.

  23. Mission Planning Strategy • DEIMOS strategy based on developing internal standards, which allows re-use of code from one mission planning system to another: • Earth Explorer CFI (e.g. enhancements to the CFI for other missions such as Terrasar-L, ALOS). • Oracle database • GanttX and SatX, developed by Taitus as the basis for the graphical tools (high professional interface with high performances) • Mission planning objectives, resources, constraints, optimisation criteria, are very much mission dependent. This has to be specifically developed for each mission. Strong re-use of background expertise is necessary. DEIMOS has developed dedicated heuristics for planning systems such as Envisat and ALOS, rather than using COTS (full control of the planning process -> a solution is always found).

  24. CONCLUSIONS • Mission Planning is one of the most strategic lines of the company • DEIMOS has expertise in Mission Planning Systems and has set-up a large team dedicated to Mission Planning, which can be increased according to the needs. • DEIMOS intends to play a role in the future mission planning systems for the forthcoming ESA Earth Observation Missions and GMES. • DEIMOS would be keen to be involved in the development of Mission Planning Systems for CNES (e.g. possible in the frame of the Spanish contribution to Pleiades)
