Tests should be run during the RSS3VC planned December 17 to 21, 2018.
After verification, resulting L1/HK CDF will be available from the ROC Web site (private area). Can be used as samples to provide test data (TBC).
Integration tests of RCS software into the ROC pipelines will start on spring 2019. Each team will be contacted individually. The integration should be done in the following order (TBC) :
THR_CALBAR
TDS_CALBA
LFR_CALBUT
SCMCAL
BICAS
A specific pipeline instance will be deployed on the roc-dev server by ROC to test the RCS interface compliance. This instance will be available for teams. The ROC will provide an up-to-date issue of the associated use manual on January 2019.
Reminder:
RCS "ready-for-flight" software versions (full processing+RCS ICD compliance) are supposed to be ready by end of April 2019.
Priority is given to the RODP now. Nevertheless, the ROC also wants to test the RCS integration and run into the pipeline (for ROC-SGSE, RCS execution is the same expect that the descriptor and CDF skeletons are different).
ROC-SGSE will be also used during the SolO mission to perform operations tests and anomaly investigation with LESIA GSE (EM1 or EM2) on-ground.
Info and status about data products is now reported in: RPW Data Products

quality flag excellent level (higher level) never used on Cluster
By default always best level, then reduced depending on the bitmask values
Propagate the quality flag from level to another and adjust if needed
First action is to list the factors that can impact the data quality (see Excel spreadsheets sent by Xavier at each team)

Xavier proposes to not include any ancillary data related to the Solar Orbiter spacecraft position, at least into L1 and L2 RPW data CDF files. Ancillary data will be provided by the SOC as both SPICE kernel and CDF format files. (CDF will contain "digest" orbit data.)
Nevertheless, the question concerning the reference frame for instrument coordinates zVariables is still open. At minimum the L2 should include spacecraft - centric RTN coordinates in a Cartesian representation as recommanded in the Solar Orbiter metadata definition document (SOL-SGS-TN-0009). This has to be concluded and expected zVariables added into the SOLO RPW L2 CDF.

Xavier is finishing a first draft of the DPDD for RPW.
This first draft is expected to be provided to the SOC team, prior to the next SOWG on January 2019.
The draft will be sent to the teams for verifications before the end of the year 2018.

Next main milestone for RCS to keep in mind is the start of the integration test into the ROC pipelines. It is expected to start around Feb/March 2019 with the receiver then sensor teams.
The next main delivery will be the RCS "ready-for-flight" version still planned by end of April 2019.
