Abstract
A mission planning system for scheduling the operations of
one or more ground stations in order to optimize overall
system communications with a plurality of satellites. The
mission planning system comprises a digital processor in
communication with each ground station, with the digital
processor acting to assess the benefits and penalties acting in
the system as a whole over a given time horizon. A systemwide
cost function evaluated by the processor generally
compares resultant SNR and slewing penalties for achievable
communications, and provides a control vectorâ…‰(t) for
each ground station determined through an optimization
process, in order that various physical constraints and
weighting factors pertinent to an individual ground station
may be incorporated and accommodated as the digital
processor optimizes overall system communications.
