Commanding

For UVCS we can distinguish three types of command procedures:

SMOCC procedures and IWS procedures must be executed during the near-realtime commanding periods each day. Pointing and roll maneuvers will be performed in the near-realtime commanding mode, at least initially. The most common mode of operation will be to uplink an on-board stored procedure (such as a scan pattern) or a parameter table (such as a detector mask) from the IWS, then issue a command to start the procedure in realtime or at a specified later time.
