One of the major difficulties in developing planners, by using Planning and Scheduling techniques from Artificial Intelligence (AIPS), is the correct description of domains and problems. AIPS techniques have been in use to plan satellite activities. The work proposed in this paper defines an Object-Oriented Meta-Model as an Ontology to describe domains and problems related to Planning activities. The paper uses ontologies and knowledge management to provide support to model domain in the area of satellite control. A tool has been developed to describe such domains and problems with respect to space applications. The tool provides graphical resources to define concepts and relations besides enabling constructing frameworks of objects from ontologies as well as their definitions, properties and constraints.
