Schematic of the operational timeline along which decisions have to be taken in order to point the S/C at an appropriate target at time T. The 10 day long RS window is shown as a blue shading starting at time T, the yellow shading depicts the pre-RSW period during which RS instruments will be preparing for the science phase and collecting LL data. Daily passes are shown in green. As shown in grey, typically all instrument commanding will be onboard before the first instrument is switched on. The LLD acquired during the pre-RSW period will provide context to choose S/C pointing which can be adjusted with less lead time. Green boxes provide information on when ground receives LLD or send commands, blue boxes show what happens onboard. This process is repeated every day throughout the preparation days and actual RS window.
