Overview

Introduction and Scope

The training plan outlined in the JUICE SGS Development and Management Plan ([JPLAN]) includes seven training opportunities identified during the cruise phase of the mission. These trainings are designed to exercise different aspects of the science operations through the detailed scenarios of the JUICE Strategic Science Planning.

The detailed scenarios are defined by challenging or representative parts of the segmentation for which in-depth analysis is needed to refine assumptions made at segmentation level. Those detailed analysis, performed down to observation level, are done in collaboration with the instrument teams through an iterative process that results in an advanced instrument operations timeline similar to the ones to that will be implemented during the Long Term Planning (LTP) and Medium Term Planning (MTP) processes of the JUICE science operations.

This document is meant to be a reference for the detailed scenario process for the Science Ground Segment (both the SOC and the PI Teams) and is focused on providing an overview of the detailed scenario process, guidelines of the process, files, and tools involved as well as procedural indications for the PI teams. SOC procedures dedicated to the detailed scenario process are not included and are available internally to the SOC (as Use Case 42).

This document is complemented by the applicable sections of the JUICE SOC-PI Interface Control Document [PICD] and ultimately by the individual detailed scenario reports that are generated at the end of each detailed scenario exercise.

The list of applicable acronyms is available at the JUICE SOC Cosmos acronyms list.
