Abstract

The operational use of satellite systems has been increasing due to technological advances and the reduced costs of satellites and their launching. As such it has become more relevant to determine how to better use these new capabilities which is reflected in an increase in application studies in this area. This work focuses on the problem of developing the scheduling of a constellation of satellites and associated ground stations to monitor different types of locations (targets) with different priorities for a given planning horizon. In order to address this problem we will propose a new model that considers explicitly the operational requirements of Brazilian relevant scenarios for a given planning horizon and target priority list. The methodology to be developed to solve this model will also be discussed.
