The new Copernicus Mission Planning Service will cover the following activities: Sentinel-1 Mission Planning Function maintenance, Sentinel-2 Mission Planning Function maintenance, Station Resources Allocation (SRA) maintenance and operations, routine Mission Planning operations (including Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites observation and downlink planning, planning of operational acquisition resources including X-Band services, planning of Sentinel-1 Collaborative Stations, operations of interfaces with Flight Operations Segment), emergency planning operations including those in support to the Copernicus Emergency Service and to the International Charter Space and Major Disasters-Set-up, and maintenance and operations of an interface point (MPIP) providing access to MP-related information to authorized entities (e.g., S-3/S-5P/CO2M MP services, FOS, acquisition services, etc.). An optional extension will be included to gradually integrate the Mission Planning operations for the Copernicus Expansion Missions (CRISTAL, ROSE-L, LSTM, CIMR, and CHIME) in line with their respective launch dates. This activity is funded under EU Copernicus Programme and will be open exclusively to economic operators and organisations (including subcontractors) established in a European Union Member State or a State participating in the Copernicus Component of the European Union Space Programme.
