Title
Swarm of Satellites: Implementation and Experimental Study of Multi-Agent Solution for Adaptive Scheduling of Large-Scale Space Observation Systems
Abstract
The paper dwells on solution to the problem of planning large-scale space observation systems, which can include from several dozens to hundreds of small spacecrafts. These systems are created in response to massive increase in the load on currently operating systems. New space systems, in comparison with traditional single spacecrafts, impose much more tough requirements on methods of planning, and only a few of the existing solutions can at least partially correspond to them. Thus, there is a need for new planning approaches that take into account domain semantics more deeply. The paper presents expanded application of multi-agent technology. Its essence lies in negotiations between agents of imaging through mutual compromises and concessions. The desired efficiency is achieved by searching for the near-to-global optimum for each application and using this information in a targeted search for a solution for the entire system. Experiments have demonstrated that approach helps promptly draw up a schedule for dozens of spacecrafts and thousands of observation objects.
