Packing programming for extravehicular missions to the space station is the process of arranging a set of missions into multiple extravehicular activities. It is an interesting combinatorial optimization problem developed from the traditional bin-packing problem. This paper first formulates a practical mathematical model that considers both the constraints of the time window for each extravehicular...
During orbital operations of the space station, several test missions require astronauts to conduct extravehicular activities. Because of the limitations of man-hours and resources such as extravehicular spacesuits, the overall programming of spacewalk events is a critical issue to address in operation mission planning for the space station. Based on the theory of bin packing, this paper establishes...
