摘要
The daily management of an earth observation satellite is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem. This problem can be roughly stated as follows: given (1) a set of candidate images for the next day, each one associated with a weight reflecting its importance, (2) a set of imperative constraints expressing physical limitations (no overlapping images, sufficient transition times, bounded instantaneous data flow and recording capacity), select a subset of candidates which meets all the constraints and maximizes the sum of the weights of the selected candidates. It can be easily cast in variants of the CSP, ILP or SAT frameworks. As a benchmark, we propose to the CONSTRAINTS community a set of instances, which have been produced from a simulator of the order book of the future satellite SPOT5. The fact that only some of them have been optimally solved should make them very attractive.
