Title
Satellite mission scheduling based on genetic algorithm
Abstract
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe a new satellite mission scheduling (SMS) problem based on an genetic algorithm (GA). Design/methodology/approach - The SMS involves scheduling tasks to be performed by a satellite, where new task requests can arrive non-deterministically (i.e. at any time) and must be scheduled in real-time. This paper investigates algorithmic approaches for determining an optimal or near-optimal sequence of tasks, allocated to a satellite payload over time, with dynamic tasking considerations. Findings - Simulation results show that the proposed approach is effective and efficient when utilized in actual cases. Originality/value - This paper shows how to adopt the GA search approach to generate an SMS within allowable computation time.
