A PC based tool for mission plan production
Satellite positioning is managed according to a mission plan (MP) which provides, on a minute accuracy basis, a chronological list of events and associated actions to be performed. This tool, called MM2, is designed under the Windows environment. Excel is used to provide the MP itself. A Visual Basic process then translates it into a graphic symbolic representation called flight plan (FP). During operations, MM2 is also used to log the actual event dates and/or dated OPS Manager live comments.
