Service Mode Scheduling
Scientific paper
The execution of observations in Service Mode is an option at many ESO telescopes, especially at the VLT telescopes. In this operations mode, observations are not scheduled for specific nights, they are scheduled flexibly. Each night observations are selected from a pool of possible observations based on Observing Programme Committee (OPC) priority and the current observing conditions. Ideally, the pool of possible observations contains a range of observations that exactly match the real range of conditions and the real number of available hours, so that all observations are completed in a timely manner. Since this ideal case never occurs, constructing the pool of observations must be done carefully, with the goals of maximising scientific return and operational efficiency.
