Flight software issues in onboard automated planning: lessons learned on EO-1
Daniel Q. Tran, Steve Chien, Gregg Rabideau, Ben Cichy · 2004
This paper focuses on the onboard planner and scheduler CASPER, whose core planning engine is based on the ground system ASPEN. Given the challenges of developing flight software, we discuss several of the issues encountered in preparing the planner for flight, including reducing the code image size, determining what data to place within the engineering telemetry packet, and performing long term planning.
