Mission planning depends on the selected system of acquisition (sensor and platform). A detailed planning of a mission is a fundamental prerequisite for a successful acquisition of remote sensing data. Planning of an aerial photography mission (manned or unmanned) takes into account several parameters such as time of day/sun angle, weather conditions, flightline, platform. Planning and implementation of a spaceborne Earth Observation mission involves several successive life cycle ‘phases’ of conception, development, production and testing, utilization and support, and retirement, as part of an iterative and recursive process, until the satellite (space segment) is delivered and launched into orbit, and the data are exploited in the ground segment.
Plan an Earth observation mission objectives and priorities in response to user expectations, taking into account type of application, type of sensor, expected accuracy
