Development of mission planning tool including optimization module

In order to achieve the next level services of earth observation satellite data, the web-based tool for mission planning is developed. The objectives are joint-usage spare resources of earth observation satellite amongst ASEAN, customer-self mission planning and optimization of mission plan. The tools are developed in three modules; web-based interface module for world-wide service, Orbital propagator/Earth projection module for the computation of feasible accessibility and optimization module for efficiency of mission planning. Three segments are carried out in parallel so as to get the tool ready-to-use as soon as possible. Each module will be initially tested in separation and finally as a whole once they are completed with current-used mission planning tool.
