Spacecraft TT&C Scheduling Models and Algorithms.

The main objective of spacecraft TT&C (Track, Telemetry & Control) resources scheduling problem is to maximize the spacecraft tasks through TT&C resources allocation with some scheduling methods. A time window-oriented model was proposed in reference to the task-oriented models. Furthermore, the branch and bound algorithm of the model and its complexity analysis were given. Finally, the validity and practicability of the algorithms were showed by simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
