What is BS EN 17350 about?
The “Scheduling and Commanding Messages” (SCM) specifies a standard format for observing system commanding and scheduling. BS EN 17350 aims to ease the planning and operation processes and to reduce the efforts from researchers that use several different observing systems and/or simulation software products.
The SCM establishes a common language for exchanging information on planning, scheduling, and executing observations of celestial objects. In the end this will:
- Facilitate interoperability and enable consistent warning between data originators who supply celestial observations and the entities or researchers who use it
- Facilitate the automation of observation processes
Who is BS EN 17350 for?
BS EN 17350 on Scheduling and Commanding Messages (SCM) is applicable to:
- Astronomical organizations
- Space research organizations
- Astronomical observatories and telescopes
- Astrophysics researchers
- Celestial objects and cosmic object researchers
- Reflecting telescopes
- Refracting telescopes
- catadioptric telescopes
- Space telescopes
Why should you use BS EN 17350?
A common language for exchanging information on planning, scheduling, and executing observations of celestial objects improves communication and saves time.
BS EN 17350 is useful for SCM applicable to ground-based activities related to the planning, scheduling, and execution of the observations of celestial objects and is used by planning software, scheduling software, telescope commanding software.
The guidelines provided in BS EN 17350 helps you improve data processing of information while observations of celestial objects this helps researchers in effective processing of data during research and observation of the cosmic environment.
BS EN 17350 for “Scheduling and Commanding Messages” (SCM) facilitate the standardization for observing system commanding and scheduling of celestial objects observation this provides easy processing and planning for researchers which uses observing systems or working on simulation software products
