Sustainment routing for orbiting satellites

Satellite systems are essentially consumable with no ability to service or repair them. This research formulates an initial two-stage optimization model to determine the on-orbit servicing logistics architecture and processes for a planned future satellite system. The study offers insights into a new and challenging application area.
