This operation shall consist of switching-on the instrument and perform performing a in-flight SFT-like test , in order to perform a first verification and ensure that the instrument is ready for the iBoom and ANT deployment operationsin near real-time at MOC.
The instrument timeline/configurations have TBD configurations timeline and related TC sequences has TBD by ROC from the CNES inputs

. It should be pretty similar to the ground SFT timeline (see As-run #3.doc for a SFT run).
The operation should take around 1h30 max. (typical duration of a SFT test is 1h20)and
It should be planned at least 24h before the beginning of the deployement operations(, in order to let the time to the RPW team to analyze and validate the TM before deploy. ops.)perform post-mortem analysis and to be confident with the instrument readiness before deployments ops.
JMT has mentionned that It should be better to perform It might be required to follow the operation step-by-step (with GO/NOGO interaction with MOC team), instead of doing it in one shot.
As a reminder, the iBoom and ANT depl. are planned during the LEOP phase (the 7 days after launch). IT MUST BE DISCUSSED WITH MOC IF THIS OPERATION CAN BE PLANNED PRIOR TO THE DEPLOY. OPS.
XB highlighted that the MAG team might ask to MOC for performing the same kind of operations before i-boom deployment. It may be useful to coordinate with MAG on this.
The first switch-on and SFT operation shall will be added by XB to the RPW_NECP.xlsx to be discussed with ESA at SOWG12

iBoom deployment (RPW-1)
RPW shall be switched-on/off 10 min. before/after the beginning of the deployment
A single instrument configuration might be enough to cover the needs.
A specific "iboom deployment" configarutions should be hence defined. AV has sent a first draft of document procedure_IBOOM_depl.docx to the RPW operation working group (ROWG). This document will contain operation plan for this activity. It could be good if a first preliminary can be submitted to the Lead CoI, before the next consortim meeting in Dresden.
In all cases, we should minimize the number of TC to execute during the operation (i.e, number of config.)
No big issue highlighted for now with this operation
All: Send comments to AV concerning the procedure_IBOOM_depl.docx before next ops. telecon on (seeRPW_Commissioning_Ops_Spec_draft.zip)
ANT deployment (RPW-2)
The details about how the RPW ANT will be deployed in-flight are still in discussion between RPW and ESA
RPW shall be switched-on/off 10 min. before/after the beginning of the deployments.
A single instrument configuration might be enough to cover the needs
Additionaly to spectral data, measuring waveforms at 256Hz should be envisaged

ANT calibration rolls
The ANT cal. rolls can only be planned in the first week of the NECP phase and just after the EGAM (see slide 24 of the SOWG11_MLP_All.pdf presentation at SOWG11 ; available on the SOC Wiki public page)
RPW team will request MOC to perform this operation in both cases NECP and EGAM.
The ANT roll should take 8h (min. 6h) per day and should be repeated at least 4 days (TBC) to increase the change of observing AKR
RPW team shall verify that the NECP first week and EGAM S/C configuration versus AKR visibility is exploitable to perform the effective ANT calibration. Action for Milan: MM will see with Patchenko if he can provide information to conclude on this (i..e, AKR visibility, required S/C orbitography for ANT roll).
A specific "Direction-Finding" configuration will be used during ANT roll with the highest possible spectral resolution on TNR.
Ask for EMC quiet mode in S/C
The ANT cal. rolls operation shall be added to the RPW_NECP.xlsx to be discussed with ESA at SOWG12
MM: contact Patchenko concerning the ANT cal. rolls inputs
XB shall add this operation to the RPW_NECP.xlsx doc.
SCM calibration operation
Specific measurements shall be done in the Earth mag. lobe to define SCM noise.
This has also to be done during the first week of NECP and EGAM. XB will check with Olga Alexandrova when exactly the S/C passes through the Earth lobe
A priori, no operational constraint at S/C level, such as attitude change, is required
The only request is that RPW is ON in a specific "SCM cal. configuration" and EMC quiet mode is applied (TBC), when passing through the lobe. It has to be discussed with MOC
The SCM cal. operation shall be added to the RPW_NECP.xlsx to be discussed with ESA at SOWG12
XB: contact Olga A. about the SCM measurement orbitography inputs
XB shall add this operation to the RPW_NECP.xlsx doc.
In-flight inter-instrument interference campaign
EL has indicated that the EMC interference campaign on-ground should give - currently planned on March 2019 - should be a good baseline to prepare the in-flight interference campaign
XB asked about the possiblity of testing in-flight the SWA-6kV voltage risk for RPW (see also https://jira-lesia.obspm.fr/browse/ROCOPE-112) during this the flight interference campaign? EL needs to discuss with SWA team (Fedorov) about this.
Input needs for this campaign will be provided by RPW CNES team
Timeline shall be discussed between ESA and IT.
AV has sent a first draft of document inter_instrument_interference.docx to the RPW operation working group (ROWG). This document will contain at the end the operation plan for this activity.
All: Send comments to AV concerning the Inter_instument_interference.docx before next ops. telecon on (see RPW_Commissioning_Ops_Spec_draft.zip)
1.RPW PAS filtering tune campaign
It is a verification/parametrization at flight software level. It should simply consist of checking that the RPW PAS filtering works well and of tuning it of
XB asked if this campaign should be a part of the in-flight inter-instrument interference campaign? For now, it has been decided to let these two campaigns separated.
Coordination with the SWA team is required. To be done by EL.will be required at some points.

EL has confirmed that the CNES is responsible of the RPW commissioning, until the end of the NECP.
New issue of the RPW_NECP.xlsx, updated by RPW team, shall be sent before to MOC (Jose-Luis Pellon-Bailon)
XB will start to modify and submit before the end of the week (i.e. ) a new version "RPW_NECP_V2.xlsx" to the RPW operations working group
RPW UM will be firstly updated by JMT and EL to include antenna inputs. A second update should be planned, if possible before the next SOWG12 on July 2018, in order to incude last inputs for RPW commissioning.
Moreover, a first rough estimation of the power consumption (in W) and data volume for each of the RPW commissioning activity (RPW-i) listed in "RPW_NECP_V2.xslx" file shall be given before the next SOWG12.
In all cases, it is important that the RPW team has enough information to argue during the
Action items
arguments to discuss about commissioning at the next SOWG12. EL might be at the SOWG (TBC).
