The 2020.1 pipeline will include VLA imaging, this page describes how the imaging will be rolled out for SRDP in 2021.
- The target date for the start of testing VLA pipeline imaging is the start of D-configuration, currently 5th March 2021 (though a few runs of the pipeline and workflow may be carried out in the test environment before then).
- If user-defined imaging (VUDI) is available, tests will be carried out using both new data in the regular pipeline workflow, and the VUDI workflow (which can use older archival data).
- Testing of both the VUDI and the pipeline workflows can be performed on the production side if tests in the test environment are successful. Users can access this "pre-pilot" pipeline imaging if the images pass QA.
- Tests will be distributed in band. Assuming bands C, X, Ku, Ka and Q (as well as Multiband datasets) are available,
