 * `mission_plan`: these would be two message types, i. encoded (platform-specific serialized message) and ii. parsed, human-readable message.
 * `platform_status`: these would be two message types, i. encoded (platform-specific serialized message) and ii. parsed, human-readable message.
 * `observation`: this would be desired scientific data sent by the platform
+* `survey`: this would be demanded track, platform actual path, and survey line

 * `planning_configuration`: sent from the GUI to initialise the AI model (autonomy engine).
