Know your Target– Understand the Customer

– Understand the Requirement

– Translate the requirement into executable collection

Know your Capability– Know your Platform (Speed, Height, Orbit, Signature, etc)

– Know your Payload (Sensor Capability)

Know your Application (STK provides the foundation)– Know your Collection Geometry (Sun, Moon, etc)

– Know your Environment (Terrain, Weather, etc)
