Mission Planning and Execution Within the Mission Data System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Not only has the number of launched spacecraft per year exploded recently, but spacecraft are also getting progressively more complex as instruments become more capable and flyby missions give way to remote orbiters, then to rovers and other in situ explorers. To address the software issues in this expanding mission set, JPL started the Mission Data System (MDS) project – an effort to make engineering flight software more straightforward and less prone to error through the explicit modeling of spacecraft state. This paper presents how MDS performs mission planning and execution in the context of managing explicit spacecraft state.

Functional Modules for Intermixed Planning and Execution of an Observation Mission
This paper presents an implementation of functional modules for intermixed planning and execution of an observation mission for an UAV. The mission is a mean altitude navigation in a 3D partially known and dynamic environment. The mission plan includes operations such as area survey, outline following and object search, defined off-line by an operator. It must satisfy constraints due to the veh...
متن کاملAutonomous Mission Management for Uavs
An architecture implemented for intermixed planning and execution of an observation mission for an UAV is described. The mission and its constraints are reported. The ProCoSA tool used to specify the UAV desired behaviour through Petri nets is presented. A planning sub-system optimises the 2D itinerary and the 3D associated trajectories while a guidance sub-system computes the controls sent to ...
متن کاملFully Automated Mission Planning and Capacity Analysis Tool for the DEIMOS-2 Agile Satellite
The DEIMOS-2 mission, launched in June 2014 and currently carrying out routine operations, is aimed at operating an agile small satellite for high-resolution Earth Observation applications. The spacecraft can be steered to accurately point the payload up to 45° off-nadir. The platform agility makes mission planning a complex optimization problem, which is cumbersome for human operators. Automat...
متن کاملInterleaving Temporal Planning and Execution in Robotics Domains
Many autonomous systems such as mobile robots, UAVs or spacecraft, have limited resource capacities and move in dynamic environments. Performing on-board mission planning and execution in such a context requires deliberative capabilities to generate plans achieving mission goals while respecting deadlines and resource constraints, as well as run-time plan adaption mechanisms during execution. I...
