In this presentation I will discuss the use case of a commercial optical Earth Observing Satellite (EOS) embedding the capacity of producing and executing autonomous plans to observe areas on the surface of the planet.
Modern EOS applications include multiple acquisition requests with different degrees of priority, and the need of reasoning taking into account information present on-board only (e.g. visibility of targets, actual satellite state, exact volume of observation data). The need to move certain satellite functions into the space segment derives from the limitations of the mission plans generated by ground control stations, which cannot take in account these variables.
During this talk, I will present the proposed hierarchical architecture for the use case, where planning and execution deals with the arrival of urgent acquisition requests, and other relevant information, while meeting several operational requirements from the end-users. The architecture leverages ONERA's Architecture for Autonomy (OARA) actors and skillsets; and HDDL 2.1, a new planning formalism for hierarchical temporal planning derived from PDDL.
