PLAN FOR DATA COLLECTION

Based on the user requests received and satellite capacities the
following plan is arrived at
Any emergency request is top priority
1. Priority 1 : Default collections with MRS- DEC LEFT LOOKING
with fixed beam ( 87-97)
2. Priority 2: Calibration sites . ( Global +Indian)
3. Priority 3: User requests for any mode any node.
4. Priority 4. Default collections in MRS ACS RIGHT LOOKING
with fixed beam ( 87-97)
5. Priority 5: Collection of data in all polarization combinations for
analysis.

Availability Of MRS Nominal coverage

* 6 cycles of MRS is completed

Availability Of MRS Nominal coverage

Gaps

All MRS strips are recorded and dumped in the next available orbit.
Due to emergency request or non availability of dump orbit some strips
may get cancelled.
