Project title: Harmony Mission Performance and Requirement Consolidation Activity for Ocean Applications
Acronym: HARMONY-EXPRO
Duration: 08/02/2022 – 09/12/2023
Total budget: € 499.744
ISMAR budget: € 58.000

Key words: Earth Observation, simulation
Summary:
Harmony – a mission dedicated to the observation and quantification of small-scale motion and deformation fields – has been recommended to proceed to phase A as a candidate for ESA’s 10th Earth Explorer. Aim of this activity is to justify, refine, trace and consolidate Harmony mission performances and mission requirements to SRL-5 or above through the following objectives:
- OBJ-1: Trace and justify Harmony requirements to scientific and user needs. Based on documented scientific user needs and applications, establish traceability for all mission requirements set out in the Harmony MRD.
- OBJ-2: Confirm Harmony L2 and L3 performance and product requirements. Based on the latest information from literature, international studies and documentation relevant to the Harmony mission, justify scientifically mission requirements.
- OBJ-3: Confirm Harmony L1 performance and product requirements through sensitivity analysis.+
- OBJ-4: Evaluate and confirm Harmony SRL evolution using consistent Scientific Readiness Assessments of scientific activity in parallel with Harmony Phase A/B1 implementation.
- OBJ-5: Provide Phase A/B1 System Scientific Support to HEEPS and System Study Activities. Respond to ad-hoc request to support the progress in the Phase A/B1 system studies and HEEPS activities.
- OBJ-6: Promote the Harmony mission at the international level.
- OBJ-7: Consolidate Harmony requirements to a final set of recommendations to mature the mission requirements that address the Harmony mission aim and objectives at SRL 5 or above.
