ABSTRACT This study proposes a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II-based multi-objective optimization method to solve the multi-objective mission planning problem for satellite formation flying system which has the ability to obtain both digital elevation map and ground moving target indicator information at the same time when certain conditions are satisfied. The 2 objectives considered in this study are maximizing total profits and maximizing numbers of completed acquisitions. Thus, the multiple-objective satellite scheduling optimization problem is formulated and solved by the proposed method. Its validity and effectiveness are verified by numerical simulations, and the results show that it can achieve better performance with respect to 2 different objectives in an overall perspective than the traditional scheduling optimization, which can consider only 1 objective.
