12 The Multi-Satellite, Multi- Station Scheduling Problem (MMSP) Objective: to maximize the total amount of data downloaded over the planning horizon Subject to: Download opportunities Conflicts Energy & Data Dynamics Stations Characteristics: Download Rate (bits/sec) Download Cost (joules/bit) Efficiency (percentage of download actually received) 12

13 Download Decisions x sig Percentage of interval i that satellite s downloads to ground station g q sig Amount of data downloaded from satellite s during interval i to ground station g 13

14 A Simple Schedule Station 1 Interval 1 Interval 2 x q x q Satellite 1 40% 2 Mb 0% 0 Mb Satellite 2 60% 3 Mb 30% 1 Mb Station 1 Satellite 1 Satellite 2 Download i=1 i=2 14

15 Energy and Data Dynamics Energy available is based on previous energy + energy gained - energy spent unrelated to downloads - energy used for downloads Data available is based on previous data + data gained - data lost - data successfully downloaded Parameters: δ i e+ : net amount of energy acquired (joules) δ i e- : net amount of energy acquired (joules) δ i d+ : net amount of data acquired (bits) δ i d- : net amount of data acquired (bits) α ig : Download cost (joules/bit) η ig : Download efficiency (% received) Variables: q ig : Amount of data downloaded (bits) e i : Energy available (joules) d i : Data available (bits) 15

16 What do we want to look at? Tractability: Can it solve real-world problems in a reasonable amount of time? Quality: How much value does it add over a simpler, more traditional scheduling approach? Applications: How can it be used as a mechanism for conducting analysis on a mission? 16

17 Generating Data for Testing Generated orbital information for each of the 50 satellites for the QB 50 mission Determine which ground stations are in view Determine when in view of the Sun stations are located at each participating university and are randomly categorized as good, average, or poor 17

18 Time (Seconds) Solve Times (50 Satellites, 50 Stations) Length of Planning Horizon (Days) MMSP model can be solved quickly for realistic planning horizons 18

19 Comparison Method Greedy Heuristic For each time interval: Identify maximum possible download for each satellite Schedule the maximum download Eliminate the participating satellite and ground station from the list of potential downloads Repeat until no more feasible downloads 19

20 Value of Optimization Energy Gain (joules/sec) Optimization Total Download (MB) Greedy Total Download (MB) % % % % % % % % % % % Improvement Over Greedy 1. Satellites can collect less energy 2. Optimization provides significant value when they do 20

21 Value of Optimization Data Gain Improvement Over Greedy Base Case (0.3 Mb/Day) 0.2% x5 0.2% x10 0.2% x15 4.5% x % x % x % x % Optimization provides significant value when satellites collect more data than what is currently planned 21

22 Analysis of Deployment Options 22

23 Data Downloaded (bits) Analysis of Deployment Options 120,000, ,000,000 80,000,000 60,000,000 40,000,000 20,000, min deploy 5 min deploy 10 min deploy Week Number 1-minute 5-minutes 10-minutes Total Download (MB) Improvement (%) % 19.8% 10-minute spacing enables more data to be downloaded 23

24 Conclusions and Future Work Capable of quickly solving real problems with clear benefits over more traditional methods Enabled sensitivity analysis for evaluating system capabilities and bottlenecks MMSP adds the most value in scenarios where energy is a limiting resource Future Work: Stochastic instances, prioritized downloads, fairness of downloads 24
