Observations spread during the entire 132 days GCO500 duration (dayside) With selective downlink, MAJIS foresees ~ 6 HR observations / days (out of which 2 will be downloaded on the basis of the analysis of the 6 browse datasets). A minimum of two sunlit orbital segments per day with NYS for 1 hour (out of 8 orbits / day) are required for implementing 6 MAJIS observations per day. As short segments with NYS close to the equator have very little impact on the energy budget, additional NYS segments may be considered at low latitude for specific MAJIS observations.
any rule that is used to schedule the observation: repetition rules, continuous (plasma instruments), one-off, every orbit, every day, etc
TBD
conditions that make the observation not possible (e.g. thruster firing)
