Claim 0:
1. An optimization system for managing a constellation of satellites, comprising:
a constellation configuration system including a first processor configured to:
receive at least one mission objective defined by a user, and
instruct one or more satellites to allocate one or more resources according to the mission objective;

a constellation planning system including a second processor configured to:
resolve contentions between and optimize usage of satellite and ground station resources at a constellation level;
schedule uplink and downlink communications between the one or more satellites and a ground station; and
schedule a cross-link communication between at least two satellites;

a node planning system including a third processor configured to:
determine whether a constellation plan is safe for an asset of the one or more satellites;
autonomously in real time task the one or more satellites based on the constellation plan,
send a command to the one or more satellites to execute the constellation plan when the constellation plan is safe; and
perform intervention when the constellation plan is unsafe; and

an asset profiling system including a fourth processor configured to:
evaluate predicted performance of the optimization system optimized against observed performance.
