"An Introduction to Optimal Satellite Range Scheduling" is a comprehensive study of the Satellite Range Scheduling (SRS) problem, which plays a central role in operations research within the aerospace sector. This textbook provides a detailed analysis of the task distribution between satellites and ground-based objects. The principles and solutions discussed in the book are applicable not only to satellite communication but also to earth observation and sensor planning. The monograph is structured to be accessible to both students and professionals, as well as researchers in various disciplines, including operations research, optimization, planning theory, and dynamic programming. The author explains optimal solution approaches considering graph theory, set theory, game theory, and belief networks. Additionally, reference algorithms and traditional algorithms for solving scheduling problems are presented and compared through examples and simulations in practical scenarios.
