Collection Management
Know your Target– Understand the Customer
– Understand the Requirement
– Translate the requirement into executable collection
Know your Capability– Know your Platform (Speed, Height, Orbit, Signature, etc)
– Know your Payload (Sensor Capability)
Know your Application (STK provides the foundation)– Know your Collection Geometry (Sun, Moon, etc)
– Know your Environment (Terrain, Weather, etc)
