Task allocation for multi-satellite cooperation based on estimation of distribution algorithm

One task allocation for multi-satellite cooperation with two layers is proposed in this paper during the long-range orbit transfer with two impulses. The low layer considers the time and energy consumption during the transfer and the estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is adopted to solve the optimization in continuous domain. The high layer gives the multi-platform task allocation model by analyzing target value and time-energy consumption. Decision variables in discrete domain are optimized based on EDA. Simulation study on different mission mode proved the effectiveness of them strategy based on EDA.
