Abstract:
The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for tasking satellite constellations. A method is disclosed herein for receiving, from a resource database of a satellite control system, knowledge data corresponding to a plurality of components associated with a satellite constellation communications system. The plurality of components can include one or more satellites associated with a constellation. The method includes processing the knowledge data according at least one received mission objective. Processing the knowledge data can include determining a status of at least one satellite in the constellation. The method includes scheduling the satellite control system based at least in part on the received mission objective and the processed knowledge data; initiating communication with the at least one satellite in the constellation according to the scheduling; receiving updated status information for at least one component of the plurality of components; and storing, in the resource database, the updated status information.

Claim (Index 21):
A satellite constellation communications system comprising:\n a terrestrial central command and control (\u201cCCC\u201d) system configured for communication with plural low earth orbit (\u201cLEO\u201d) satellites within said constellation, using plural ground stations; computer memory linked to said CCC system for storing data and computer-executable instructions, said memory further comprising a resource database configured for storing data corresponding to characteristics of a plurality of components associated with the satellite constellation communications system, wherein the plurality of components comprises plural satellites within the constellation and plural ground stations configured to communicate with said constellation; a mission interface in communication with said CCC system, the mission interface configured for receiving mission objective instructions and for providing collected mission data; wherein the terrestrial CCC system further comprises a program controlled processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions, in response to received mission objective instructions, to cause the system to:\n receive, from the resource database, data corresponding to one or more components comprising capabilities that correspond to the resources necessary for completing mission objective instructions; \n prepare, based on at least a portion of the received data and the received mission objective instructions, a mission queue for the plurality of components, wherein preparing the mission queue comprises assessing existing constraints and priorities of the plurality of components; \n assign, to at least one of the plurality of components, mission operation instructions to take a specified action based at least in part on the mission queue; \n output, for communication through at least one ground station, instructions directed to at least one satellite in the constellation according to the mission queue; \n receive updated status information for at least one component of the plurality of components; and \n store, in the resource database, the updated status information.
