This book delves into the complex and evolving field of agile Earth observation satellite technology and its scheduling challenges. With the capability for large-angle maneuvering, stereo and continuous area imaging, these satellites significantly expand observational capabilities. However, the rapid enhancement of these satellites, paired with increasing observational demands, has made agile satellite scheduling an NP-hard problem. Research into collaborative scheduling for agile satellit...
