The satellite range scheduling (SRS) problem, an important operations research problem in the aerospace industry consisting of allocating tasks among satellites and Earth-bound objects, is examined in this book. SRS principles and solutions are applicable to many areas, including:

• Satellite communications, where tasks are communication intervals between sets of satellites and ground stations
• Earth observation, where tasks are observations of spots on the Earth by satellites
• Sensor scheduling, where tasks are observations of satellites by sensors on the...
