IPY Mission Planning Issues

• Access to mission planning tools for high res
  optical and microwave satellites (e.g. ERS-2,
  Envisat, Radarsat-2, TerraSAR-X, ALOS)
• Approach for developing a coordinated mission
  plan
• Mission planning rules for distributing
  acquisition and processing load
• Establish international mission planning team to
  devise optimal IPY plan
