... Previous: Filtering KPNO LaTeX Observing Proposals with Perl . ... The Planning and Scheduling Tool was designed allow the user easily to take advantage of all available resources of the four telescopes (LASCO's three coronagraphs and the EIT Telescope) to maximize the use of the telemetry downlink. The Planning Tool allows users to develop customized observing sequences while monitoring compression factors and on-board processing times to realistically work within the limits of the instruments. ...

A sequence of XMM-Newton observations during an orbit is the result of a long and complex process. ... The planning of an XMM-Newton revolution is articulated in three main steps: . the Advanced Plan . ... The definition of this Plan starts from the sample of targets, which are visible during the 15 revolutions covering one month. ... Once critical targets have been allocated to each revolution, the whole schedule must be filled, using the targets which are potentially visible in each observation. ...
