A heuristic for the multi-satellite, multi-orbit and multi-user management of Earth observation satellites
نویسندگان
چکیده
Earth observation satellites are platforms equipped with optical instruments that orbit the Earth in order to take photographs of specific areas at the request of users. This article is concerned with the management of several satellites performing multiple orbits over a given planning horizon. It describes a tabu search heuristic for the problem of selecting and scheduling the requests to be satisfied, under operational constraints. An upper bounding procedure based on column generation is used to evaluate the quality of the solutions. The results of extensive computational experiments performed on data provided by the French Centre National d’Études Spatiales are reported.

Multi-Observations Initial Orbit Determination based on Angle-Only Measurements
A new approach with the ability to use the multiple observations based on the least square approach has been proposed for initial orbit determination. This approach considers the Earth’s Oblateness by using the developed Lagrange coefficients. The efficiency of the proposed method has been tested in two scenarios. The first scenario is to use the simulated and the second one is to utilize the r...
متن کاملScheduling a constellation of agile earth observation satellites with preemption
In this paper, we consider a scheduling problem for a set of agile Earth observation satellites for scanning different parts of the Earth’s surface. We assume that preemption is allowed to prevent repetitive images and develop four different preemption policies. Scheduling is done for the imaging time window and transmission time domain to the Earth stations as well. The value of each picture ...
متن کاملTracking Control of Uncertain Non - Iinear MIMO System Using Modified Sliding Surfaces for Attitude Large Maneuver of Satellites on Orbit
Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...
متن کاملCDMA in Low Earth Orbit Satellites
In recent years the use of small multi mission satellites (SMMS) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for making voice, data and E-mail communications has been grown extensively. Low production cost, Low cost of lunching and low transmission power due to it’s low orbit of these satellites are some reasons for their vast usage. How over because of their low orbit they need to turn several times around the e...
متن کاملEffects of Some Parameters on Thermal Control of a LEO Satellite
Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...
