  1. scope and benefitsOPS-GIB Margherita di Giulio ESTRACK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMEMS

  2. Scope of the ESTRACK Management System • Nine stations owned by ESA plus three cooperative stations support ten operational ESA scientific missions and several missions of external users • In order to coordinate the number of ESTRACK users and the network efficiently, an automated planning and coordination system is being developed. • The previous (manual) scheme originated from a time of different ownership structures, low resources utilisation, low process complexity and low computing capability

  3. Scope of the ESTRACK Management System • ESTRACK Management & Scheduling System (EMS) automates planning, scheduling and coordination : • Incorporation of user’s service requirements • efficient, conflict free and balanced resource allocation • maximisation of service provision

  4. Advantages of the ESTRACK Management System • Advantages for ESTRACK users: • Efficient, centralized and time-saving conflict solving • Long-Term resource allocation simulations • User support for complete Planning & Scheduling life-cycle • Data exchange based on XML files, to facilitate further automation • Monitoring the execution of the schedule at the ground stations

  5. Main Blocks of the EMS (1/2) • ESTRACK PLANNING SYSTEM (EPS) : • creates and maintains the ESTRACK planning database, combining Event Files and Mission Agreement • it generate the ESTRACK master plan • ESTRACK SCHEDULING SYSTEM (ESS): • It “compiles” the ESTRACK plan from the EPS to produce ground station schedules. EPS ESS Users refinements G/S Schedules Master Plan

  6. Main Blocks of the EMS (2/2) • ESTRACK COORDINATION SYSTEM (ECS) • ECS is a network controller. It allows ECC to monitor the execution of the ESTRACK G/S schedules from a central position. • ECS uses the EPS and ESS products for distribution, monitoring and (eventually) control of schedules. ESTRACK Real-Time Overview ECS G/S Schedule MVL Master Plan

  13. EPS - objectives 1 of 1 • The ESTRACK Planning System EPS • maps Standing Service Orders from mission-agreements to the capabilities of ESTRACK ground stations - applies mission specific planning rules and respects temporal and factual constraints • produces a conflict-free service allocation plan, the ESTRACK Management Plan EMP - exploits flexibility in standing orders and applies mission priorities and preferences • allows missions to edit the ESTRACK Management Plan - within the bounds of their Basic Service Order Periods • supports efficient medium-term planning (6 - 12 month in 6 - 36 hours)) - by planning multiple overlapping segments of the working plan • allows load analysis of ground stations - in terms of OSSs, conflicts, station idle time - even for hypothetical ground stations

  24. ESS - functions 1 of 1 • The ESTRACK Scheduling System ESS • translates the Operational Service Sessions from a conflict-free segment of the EMP into requests for ground station services and configurations - by means of many predefined templates and rules • generates 'passes', i.e. sequences of time tagged calls of ready-made Jobs to be executed at ground stations - a repertoire of some 25 standard Mission Scheduling Jobs is available • compiles these 'passes' into a single 12-days schedule valid for all missions and all ground stations - ground stations must filter their activities
