1 Automated Spacecraft Scheduling The ASTER Example Ron Cohen Ground System Architectures Workshop 2002 Jet Propulsion Laboratory

2 The Concept Scheduling by software instead of humans Ideally suited to orbital observing missions Rationale: Increased target data return Lower cost Now operating on ASTER / Terra (EOS-AM1) R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 2

3 Some Targeting Options for Earth Observing Missions Observe Everything Valuable Data Scheduling Complexity Observed Data Observe Land Mass Only Observe Targets Only Emphasize High Priority Targets Emphasize High Priority Cloud-Free Targets R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 3

4 Maximum Performance Used Capability Maximum Valuable Data Return Valuable Data Maximize: Used Capability Total Capability and Valuable Data Observed Data R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 4

5 Conventional Human Scheduling Select high priority targets Check the weather report Avoid clouds Calculate observation times, pointing angles, etc. Software tools Groundtrack grid charts Generate command sequences Check constraints OR always stay well within limits Observations Spacecraft Schedule R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 5

6 Questions What is the workforce cost of manually creating schedules? What is the workforce cost of adjudicating between competing requesters? (and career cost?) What about all that slack time? Are we fully utilizing spacecraft capability? Manually optimizing schedules is expensive Cassini sequences require work-years R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 6

7 Automated Scheduling Automatic: Target prioritization Schedule creation Constraint checking Humans are elevated to a higher level Humans set goals, software handles the details Can still joystick the spacecraft Input desired activity with high priority Compared to conventional scheduling: More optimal (maximizes capability used and valuable data) Faster Lower cost Safer R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 7

8 When is Automated Scheduling Appropriate? Shorter missions, unique events Longer missions, repetitive events Human Scheduling Cost Scheduling System Development Cost Sequence Product Magnitude (quantity, size) Automated Scheduling R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 8

9 The ASTER Example Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Built by Japan MITI/JAROS Currently operating on NASA Terra (EOS-AM1) Multiple telescopes, visual through thermal infrared Polar orbit, 16-day groundtrack repeat cycle Crosstrack pointing +/- 24 deg 60 km observation swath 10 m resolution in visible channels Many observation modes and settings Observations highly constrained by data, power, and thermal limits Many competing users R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 9

12 ASTER Acquisition Requests User specifies: Polygonal target Area of Interest (AOI) Instrument mode & settings Requirements on timing, lighting, repeat obs, etc. Request is fulfilled over time Generally multiple observations AOI can be much larger than observation swath Cloudy areas automatically reobserved R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 12

13 ASTER Acquisition Requests (xars) Area of Interest R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 13

14 ASTER Acquisition Requests (xars) R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 14

15 ASTER Acquisition Requests (xars) R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 15

16 ASTER Acquisition Requests (xars) R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 16

17 ASTER Acquisition Requests (xars) R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 17

18 Prioritization: Priority Varies With Position, Time, Cloudiness, Etc. Example: 3 repeat observations requested & Observed 2 times & & (low priority) Never observed & (highest & priority) Observed 3 times & Observed 1 time & & (medium priority) & (zero priority Predicted cloudy (low priority) & Data maintained globally in 1 km 2 pixels in GIS R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 18

19 Prioritization: Observation Swaths Potential Observation Swath on Planet Surface Time R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 19

20 Prioritization Process Overlay potential observation swath onto planet surface: & & & & & R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 20

21 Prioritization Process Calculate priority of areas under swath: Priority Time R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 21

22 Priority of Requests is Additive Priority = Priority 1 + Priority 2 IF single observation can contribute to both requests (common constraints: mode, lighting, time, etc.) R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 22

23 Scheduling Algorithm Approach 1. Create curves of priority vs. time for each potential spacecraft state State 1 Priority Time -> State 2 Priority State 3 Priority R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 23

24 Scheduling Algorithm Approach 2. Create schedule with maximum integral priority State 1 Priority State 2 Priority State 3 Priority Schedule Priority State 1 State 2 State 1 State 3 State Transitions R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 24

25 ASTER Priority Function Prioriity of a point on the Earth s surface: Priority = f 0 + (f 1 f 2 " f 11 ) Prioriity adjustment factor for joysticking R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 25

26 ASTER Priority Function Terms Data Collection Category Engineering, Science, Individual, etc. Ground Campaign User Category Cloudiness Predicted cloudiness, at observation time, vs. users s cloud limit Urgency Remaining Revisits Remaining Observation Opportunities Remaining Area Requested Area Time Since xar Submission Pointing Control If above desired pointing usage curve, downweight observations that request pointing changes R. Cohen - Automated Scheduling 26

27 2 ASTER Scheduling Systems Independent developments ASTER Ground Data System Scheduler in Tokyo Generates ASTER schedule once per day Based on JPL algorithm ASTER Mission Simulator (AMS) at JPL Second generation system Intended for mission planning Generates schedules Simulates clouds Performs observations and cloud assessment Tracks successful and failed observations Mission simulations R.
