It is primarily responsible for main payload commands generation dedicated to the: \n - High Resolution Geometric Telescope ( HRG ) \n - High Resolution Stereoscopic Telescope \nAll operating commands are deduced from the commercial user ( namely Spot Image ) requests or from the satellite operator ( CNES ) requirements. They are then transmitted to the satellite in the form of interpretable programming messages recognised by the on-board software. '); document.write('  Presentation_CGCU.pdf'); document.write(' |

document.write(' The CPV takes care of the generation of the mission planning used for the Vegetation payload embarked on SPOT4 system. This is done in practice by taking into account all existing on-board constraints as well as incorporating all mission needs and requirements. \nThe generated and optimised mission planning obtained is then further converted into directly useable payload commands that can be sent to the satellite for execution. \nAs a Vegetation payload was later added to SPOT 5 as well ( called Vegetation Type 2 ), an adaptation of the existing CPV SPOT 4 Vegetation package was performed recently.
