The new space logistics perspectives in the SURI ATLAS project have contributed to the development of the following course:
AE 8803_KHO: Logistical Planning Methods and Their Application in Space Mission Design (Spring 2024)
Course Description: This course introduces the concepts related to logistical planning methods and their applications in space mission design. The covered methods include: (1) logistics optimization methods, such as general linear programming (LP), integer programming (LP), mixed-integer linear programming (MILP), large-scale optimization techniques (e.g., Lagrangian methods, column generation, dynamic programming), and nonlinear programming (NLP), with applications in the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), and the Facility Location Problem (FLP), among others; and (2) logistics modeling methods, such as queueing theory and inventory management. The covered applications include: (1) space exploration campaign; (2) in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM); and (3) satellite constellations management.
