Over the next decade, hundreds of Earth Observation (EO) satellites are expected to be launched as large constellations, with the satellites operating in concert to provide intelligence for hundreds of applications. In order to support these applications and achieve the maximum possible value from EO constellations, new advanced mission planning systems are required. The main objective of theproject is to identify, benchmark and prototype the components for a constellation multi-mission planning and analysis tool. The tool shall be capable to interface and integrate with international and national EO space assets, with particular focus on large constellations. The technology requirements for such a constellation mission planning system shall be driven by very different and heterogeneous scenarios and customers requirements, in order to offer a robust requirement framework for future exploitation of the tool.
