Main new features added
Two different look and feel themes
The Quota costraint has been completely modified
The Quota constraint has been completely modified to accommodate custom duration periods and multiple quota definitions.
You may define one or more “quota items” specifying different quota constraints to be applied to the applicable facility (sensor, antenna , AOI).
In addition it is possible to define:
-Grouping constraint, an optional text string that identifies a quota group within the same satellite. Sensors of the same group will share the quota resource in a combined way.
-Several quota items with different specifications which should be complied with simultaneously.
Auto steering criteria has been improve
Auto steering criteria have a new option “Minimize Cloud Cover” which will select beams and FOV geometries which minimise the predicted cloud coverage.
Auto steering criteria has been improved with weighted optimization. In MIN OZA, MAX OZA and MIN CLOUDS criteria nothing would prevent that the selected beam would have an extremely low overlap with the AOI, which is not desirable. To prevent this, acquisitions are now weighted with the Area Coverage %.
Color map scales have new options
-Option to “clip out of range values” to not drawing pixels falling out of the defined scale
-Option to select a different scale color range by selecting a custom scale bitmap file
Color map scale cursor is now on the scale itself. When the mouse hovers over the map the scale cursor will move contextually to show the color map value at the mouse location.
Sun and moon eclipses
New tools for generating timelines of sun and moon eclipses.
Sun eclipse is shown on the map with its expected shadow. Choose low ambient light (View / Ambient light / Low) and select a clear color background map. At the times of the eclipse SaVoir will rerpresent the expected shadow of the moon over the earth’s surface.
You may select between smooth shading (0 eclipse steps) or stepped shading with discrete steps (e.g. 10 eclipse steps). The eclipse steps are configurable in the map style properties.
