SODAP Timeline Sequences

SCIAMACHY executed SODAP specific timelines from orbit 197 (14th March 2002) until orbit 2203 (1st August 2002). Starting in orbit 2204, quasi-routine measurements commenced which were only occasionally interleaved with those SODAP activities which could not have been scheduled earlier.

The timelines applicable for the period until orbit 2203 had to reflect SCIAMACHY's complex Commissioning Phase plan with engineering and measurement activities forming a sequence of consecutive tasks (SODAP Astrium). During this sequence the status, i.e. setting of engineering and measurement parameters, changed according to plan. Whenever the instrument had to be operated in MEASUREMENT mode, a particular state configuration had to be uploaded by macrocommand (MCMD) and the measurement requirements had to be accomplished by running sequences of timelines assembled from the particular state configuration and uploaded by MCMD as well. A detailed listing of all timeline sets from SODAP can be found in the Timelines section. Identical timeline IDs and identical state IDs within timelines of different set IDs did usually implement different functionalities.

The tables listed below provide the consecutive sequence of orbits, starting with orbit 197 and ending with orbit 2203. They illustrate for this period

  • absolute orbit number
  • date
  • ANX time (UTC)
  • most relevant instrument mode (modes could change in an orbit)
  • timeline sequence or activity (note: a single timeline 63 was sometimes not executed via MPS but manually via FOP; underlying colours indicate whether the particular orbit is available as a consolidated level 0 file with colour coding being identical to that in the cL0 Data Availability section)
