MCR will be used for SMART-l mission control. During the routine operations phases, a Dedicated Control Room will be used. The SMART-l Science and Technology Coordination (STOC) is located at ESTEC. STOC interfaces to the MOC to which it provides inputs to the Flight Operation Plan for the payload commanding at spacecraft level, and the Experiment Science Master Plan. The Experiment Operation Facilities are located at each Principal Investigator site. They are connected to the STOC and MOC via the network and operate remotely the experiments. The coordination of the scientific activities is carried within the Science and Technology Working Team (STWT) chaired by the Project Scientist, and via the STOC. Experiment requests for operations, commands and data delivery are routed via the STOC in an agreed procedure. SMART-l data will be archived following the PDS Planetary Data Systems Standards. There will be an intercalibration and integration of the SMART-l data both between the instruments and with existing data from previous missions such as Clementine and Lunar Prospector. Data will be integrated in a planetary database under construction at ESA RSSD. The SMART-l team has also cooperation with the upcoming Japanese Lunar-A and SELENE missions (Foing 2002).

N2 - SMART-1 is a technology demonstration mission for deep space solar electrical propulsion and Technologies for the Future. SMART-1 will be Europe's first lunar mission and will contribute to developing an international program of lunar exploration. The spacecraft has been readied in April 2003 for a launch in summer 2003, as an auxiliary passenger to GTO on Ariane 5, to reach the Moon after 15 month's cruise. SMART-1 will carry six experiments, including three remote sensing instruments that will be used during the mission's nominal six months in lunar orbit. These instruments will contribute to key planetary scientific questions, related to theories of lunar origin and evolution, the global and local crustal composition, the search for cold traps at the lunar poles and the mapping of potential lunar resources.
