Herschel Lessons Learned Meeting: "Operations from Cradle to Grave"

Top-level objectives for the end-May 2013 Lessons Learned Meeting

Science Management

Registration & Abstract Submission

The top-level objectives for the end-May 2013 Lessons Learned Meeting are:

• Capture the good, the bad, and the ugly, in particular "best practices" to be passed on for future missions, but should also document particular problems and in general important experience.

• Generate conclusions and recommendations based on the above.

• Propagate the above LL output (into ESA and towards future missions) as appropriate.

• Generate a written Report and presentation(s).

Outline scope for the "Operations from Cradle to Grave" LL Meeting (May 28-30)*

The overall Mission design concept and methodology

Operations Processes and Procedures

• • • Calibration, in-flight performance, evaluation, verification, and optimisation

• • • AOT-release, calibration, in-flight performance, evaluation, verification, and optimisation

• • • KP-release, A&A Special Issue, information provision for AO-1

• • • Calibration, in-flight performance, evaluation, verification, and optimisation
    • Scheduling strategy, policies, flexibility, re-planning
    • Community Support - Level of service provided to community (excl. downlink)
    • Helpdesk

Methodology of the exercise

• Material, in the form of Abstracts of proposed talks will be gathered, with the deadline for receiving abstracts being eob on May 6 2013.

• An effort will be made to associate an "Advocate" with each key area of the meeting, who could:
  • present a summary/distillation of the collected views
  • lead the discussion in the meeting
  • write up the key conclusions afterwards as input to the overall summary.
