Manual Page 31 4 7 Observation Tracking The status of an observation can be tracked at each stage of the planning process Prior to the execution of the schedule it is possible by examining the various planning messages received from MOC to monitor the process of Timeline generation This stage ends with the reception from MOC of a Timeline Summary File TSF for each POS sent Each stage of this process is described in the following subsections 4 7 1 Reception of Planning Messages Following the submission of the POS amp ICP and prior to the reception of the Timeline Summary the ISOC will receive four different types of Planning Messages from MOC indicating the progress of the Timeline Generation The following message types are received via IFTS EPOS Validation Message e APF Validation Message Cross Validation Message e Timeline Generation Message Since the header of these messages contain an indication of whether that part of the Timeline generation process has been successful or not the ISOC Mission Planner can easily monitor the progress made by MOC in generating a Timeline The reception of a message indicating the failure of a specific part of the generation sequence especially EPOS amp APF generation will provide the ISOC advanced warning that MOC may reject the POS that they refer to These Planning Messages are expected accessible on both the ISOC operational and office networks 4 7 2 Reception am
