Development of a mission planning & tasking tool for spacecraft with multiple payloads
CENSSAT-1 which is currently under development within CENSSS hosts 5 different payloads on-board. In order to maximize scientific return and to ensure the success of the mission, a mission planning & tasking tool is required, which will produce the plans based on which the payloads will run on-board the satellite. This tool shall take multiple inputs (from scientific requirements and desired operational aspects of each payload to the orbit of the satellite and its telemetry) and figure out the optimal time to run each payload while also ensuring nominal operations on-board the satellite from a power, data and communications perspective.
The objectives of the project are:
-
prepare LEOP routines
-
prepare science operations routines
-
prepare an automated operations setup for CENSSat-1
This project can be either 30 or 60 credits.
