ASPEN: A Framework for Automated Planning and Scheduling of Spacecraft Control and Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of successful applications of automated planning and scheduling applications to spacecraft operations have recently been reported in the literature. However, these applications have been one-of-a-kind applications that required a substantial amount of development effort. In this paper, we describe ASPEN (Automated Planning/Scheduling Environment), a modular, reconfigurable application framework which is capable of supporting a wide variety of planning and scheduling applications. We describe the architecture of ASPEN, as well as a number of current spacecraft control/operations applications in progress.

متن کاملASPEN – Automated Planning and Scheduling for Space Mission Operations
This paper describes the ASPEN system for automation of planning and scheduling for space mission operations. ASPEN contains a number of innovations including: an expressive but easy to use modeling language, multiple search (inference) engines, iterative repair suited for mixed-initiative human in loop operations, real-time replanning and response (in the CASPER system), and plan optimization....
متن کاملRepresenting Spacecraft Mission Planning Knowledge in ASPEN
Automated planning technologies show great promise of reducing operations costs by automating the spacecraft mission planning process. However, one of the bottlenecks is acquiring spacecraft operations knowledge from operations personnel and expressing it in a plan model. One of the primary design goals of the ASPEN planning language is to eliminate the knowledge acquisition bottleneck by makin...
متن کاملIterative Repair Planning for Spacecraft Operations Using the Aspen System
This paper describes the Automated Scheduling and Planning Environment (ASPEN). ASPEN encodes complex spacecraft knowledge of operability constraints, flight rules, spacecraft hardware, science experiments and operations procedures to allow for automated generation of low level spacecraft sequences. Using a technique called iterative repair, ASPEN classifies constraint violations (i.e., conflic...
متن کاملFlight Software Issues in Onboard Automated Planning: Lessons Learned on EO-1
Planning and scheduling systems for spacecraft operations have traditionally been an important step in the ground operations of mission planners. In the Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment (ASE), this step is moved onboard the Earth Observing-1 spacecraft. The ASE features several advanced technologies: onboard image processing, a robust execution engine, and onboard planning and scheduling. Thi...
