Abstract :
A load scheduling routine that achieves good vehicle utilization without requiring a large amount of computer processing capability or computer operating time has been developed. This has been achieved by a combination of methods: loads are categorized so that they can be processed in a logical manner as a function of their priority and other key characteristics; loads are processed efficiently by scanning and screening orbits and operating modes to find acceptable and/or optimal locations for placing each load in the mission sequence; and scheduling control parameters are used to control power demand and energy limits, battery depth of discharge, and sunlight discharges of the battery
