Automated-Monitoring Design of Acquisition Service Level Agreement (SLA) for Landsat-8 Satellite at Rumpin Remote Sensing Ground Station

The acquisition of the Landsat-8 satellite at Rumpin Remote Sensing Ground Station is accompanied by acquisition monitoring that can be assessed through the achievement of Service Level Agreements (SLA). SLA calculation is still manual, which causes operators to have difficulty in providing SLA data quickly and accurately. Here we describe an automated monitoring procedure to display the results of percentage calculations of Landsat-8 SLA automatically and in real-time. Using python automation code, the percentage of SLA achievements can be calculated, databases can be updated, and results in the form of tables and graphs from the database can be displayed using the web interface. The python program counts the number of track schedules, successful tracks, scene schedules, and successful scenes that are collected monthly. The python algorithms created for each data item differ from one another depending on the file format being read and the specific data to be recorded for the percentage calculation of Landsat-8 SLA. SLA automated-monitoring application helps operators complete the SLA calculation process more efficiently. Data that had to be checked manually can now be processed automatically.
