7.3.3 Tasking responses for SAR missions

The Segment objects listed in feasibility and task status reports and corresponding to imagery segments acquired by SAR instruments can make use of the Acquisition class defined in the SAR package of the EO Metadata standard [OGC 10-157] instead of the Acquisition class defined in the core EOP package. This class defines additional acquisition metadata specific to SAR instruments such as polarization mode and channels, antenna look direction, etc… 76 Copyright © 2011 Open Geospatial Consortium EO Satellite Tasking Extension for SPS OGC 10-135 8 Additional operations and SOAP binding

8.1 Requirements Class: GetSensorAvailability Operation

Requirements Class http:www.opengis.netspecEOSPS2.0reqgsa Target Type Server Implementation Dependency http:www.opengis.netspecEOSPS2.0reqcore

8.1.1 Introduction

This section defines an additional operation that can be implemented by EO SPS servers and clients. The standardization target of this class is a server implementation supporting retrieval of future sensor availability but most requirements are also applicable to client implementations seeking to support this feature. Requirement http:www.opengis.netspecEOSPS2.0reqgsacapabilities Req 40. The GetSensorAvailability operation shall be listed in the capabilities document of the service. An EO system may not be available over a period of time for different reasons such as workload, maintenance, etc. The GetSensorAvailability operation allows the client to obtain a preview of the periods of availability of a sensor before a feasibility study is requested. The granularity of the provided information is up to the data provider who can choose to describe its exact workload or simply list approximate periods of availability. For instance, a provider may wish to list a period of one week as soon as the sensor is available for tasking at least during 50 of the period. This allows a provider to choose the most appropriate granularity of information to help the users while maintaining its exact workload secret.
