Abstract: The sensor resources scheduling of LEO constellation is a mission planning problem with complex and multiple constraints. In order to implement the real time scheduling optimization of multiple maneuvering targets’ full process tracking and monitoring tasks, a mission planning model that is easy to quickly solve onboard is proposed. Based on the detailed modeling of the autonomous mission planning for LEO constellation sensor scheduling, the original problem is transformed into a simple 0 1 linear integer programming model with various constraints and optimization objectives. The proposed method is validated through a multiple targets tracking simulation scenario, with all targets tracked and monitored throughout the entire process.

Key words: LEO constellation, sensor resource scheduling, autonomous mission planning, linear integer programming model
