The web-based scheduling tools for astronomical observatories
Management of optical, laser and radar sensors in one place
Basic sensor management and telemetry
Allocate time on a sensor, either for observations or maintenance
Heuristic algorithms in service for astronomers and SST through scheduling agents
In-browser scheduling agent for the sensor network
Full, manual scheduling for the sensor
Integrated Spacetrack and Simbad catalogs with latest ephemeris
Native astronomical data formats supported via AstroDrive
Ability to send an SCM-program to the sensor
Command-line tools and APIs available
Data access secured using OAuth2 standard
The Webplan suite sents the observation programs to the sensor and waits for the data to be received. Once observations are done, the sensor's processing pipeline can upload data to the AstroDrive. It can be either raw, FITS data or TDM, or both. The Webplan allows then to visualize the results in the browser, and monitor the progress of the campaign.
Real-time sensor state: basic and advanced telemetry supported
List and world map of sensors, including twilight zones
Sensor dashboard: see latest state of the sensor
Export sensor data to JSON, GeoJSON and CSV
Scheduling Agents: a way to automate sensor planning using heuristic algorithms
Sensor's schedule overview: what's planned in the next 24 hours
Sensor scheduling: easy-to-use calendar for planning, either for observations or maintenance
Ad hoc scheduling within the browser – from computing object passes to allocating time and preparing observation programs
Manual planning: full control over planning parameters
Multitude of formats: JSON, XML, SCM, Abot:XML, LSF (Laser Scheduling Format) or plain text
Heuristic algorithm planning: look for best opportunity windows taking into account sensor availability, visibility of objects and environmental statistics
