Mission Planner (SIM_Planner)

The mission planner Processing Function (SIM_Planner) prepares the coordinated simulation of a region of sky, by the different OU-SIM channels (level-1, level-2, level-3 and level-Ext). It ingests data from the Reference Survey, from the Mission Data Base (dithering pattern, exposure times, etc). In addition, it is fed with input data (input catalog data products, simulation and processing steps) that will be transfered to the different SIM Processing Element.

The SimPlannerProgram :term:’Processing Element in SIM_Planner ingests the following data products:

• Sim Request Product: user defined set of simulations constraints, and list of SIM channels settings

• Mission Data Base

Depending on the channels requested by the user, the SIM_Planner produces the following data products:

• Vis Input Configuration Product

• Nis Input Configuration Product

• Nip Input Configuration Product

• Ext Input Configuration Product
