Optimal satellite constellation spare strategy using multi-echelon inventory control with stochastic demand and lead times

The recent growing trend to develop large-scale satellite constellations (i.e., mega-constellations) with low-cost small satellites has brought the need for an efficient and scalable maintenance st...
