Abstract:

Considering the observing request in an emergency, intentive observing task scheduling of multi-agile imaging satellites is studied. A scheduling model is established which considers such complex constraints as the visible time window, the attitude changing duration between tasks, the maximal successive working duration, energy and storage capacity restriction, etc. An improved ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is designed to solve the problem, which is based on ant colony system (ACS) and max-min ant system (MMAS). The searching strategy and pheromone update strategy are designed according to the scheduling constraints. The factors of task priority and bounds of the visible time are introduced into transfer rules to control the transition probability. Simulation results show the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.
