Scheduling System

Tsinghua Satellite Ground Scheduling

A ground scheduling system for a 400+ person optical satellite photo event with real spacing, feasibility, and task-card constraints.

Problem

A satellite photo event has a short overpass window and little tolerance for manual calculation errors. The system needed to handle physical ratios, spacing, participant-count changes, and field execution.

Workflow

  1. 01Turn site constraints and participant counts into structured scheduling inputs.
  2. 02Run a dynamic matrix layout algorithm with strict and flexible modes.
  3. 03Generate feasibility checks, physical coordinates, and task dispatch cards.
  4. 04Package the core scheduling module as an open-source reusable tool.

Evidence

Public tool

The public scheduling surface is available for inspection.

Operational scale

The system was delivered for a 400+ participant field scheduling scenario.

Boundary

  • This is a ground scheduling and coordination tool, not an orbital-control system.
  • Public proof avoids publishing private event operations or any restricted institutional material.
  • The value is workflow, algorithmic layout, and field execution support.

Role Mapping

  • Product engineering: turns non-standard operations into a reusable tool.
  • Algorithmic product: ties computation to real-world physical constraints.
  • AI / automation delivery: demonstrates fast translation from ambiguous field need to executable workflow.
