Rehearsals at the CHEOPS Science Operations Center (SOC) in Geneva, Switzerland. The SOC is where weekly observing plans for the satellite will be generated and downlinked telemetry data will be processed before being made available to scientists.
Spacecraft operators at the Mission Operations Centre (MOC) in Torrejón, Spain, will configure and manoeuvre the satellite according to the observation plan, monitor the spacecraft performance, and ensure that data flows smoothly back to the SOC.
