Reducing costs of the modified Antarctic Mapping mission through automated planning
Benjamin D. Smith, Barbara E. Engelhardt, Darren Mutz · 2001
This paper describes the automated mission planning system for MAMM, which dramatically reduced mission-planning costs to just a few workweeks, and enabled rapid generation of 'what-if' scenarios for evaluating mission-design trades. This latter capability informed several critical design decisions and was instrumental in accurately costing the mission.
