TL;DR
The Euclid space mission aims to survey a large portion of the sky over six years, focusing on optimizing observation schedules to meet scientific and operational goals.
Contribution
This paper presents the current survey implementation and ongoing efforts to optimize the Euclid sky survey schedule.
Findings
Survey covers 15000 square degrees of extragalactic sky.
Current scheduling approach balances scientific objectives and spacecraft constraints.
Ongoing work aims to improve survey efficiency and effectiveness.
Abstract
The Euclid space mission proposes to survey 15000 square degrees of the extragalactic sky during 6 years, with a step-and-stare technique. The scheduling of observation sequences is driven by the primary scientific objectives, spacecraft constraints, calibration requirements and physical properties of the sky. We present the current reference implementation of the Euclid survey and on-going work on survey optimization.
