SPRINT: Scheduling Planning Routing Intersatellite Network Tool (SPRINT)
Project Description
Development of a software tool that schedules satellite observations, intersatellite crosslink communications, and downlink activities to enable a global hyperspectral imaging constellation of hundreds of resource-constrained small satellites for global, near real-time science.
More »Anticipated Benefits
SPRINT directly handles both data routing for low latency bulk observation data downlink and replanning onboard to deal with dynamic priorities and fault response, maximizing the utility of downlinked data. At completion of the effort, the software will be delivered as a complete open-source package.
