Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study proposed ways to reduce the spacecraft temperature uncertainties and improve the satellite temperature simulator model management system. This technique will lead to shorten the development period, reduce the development cost, and achieve efficient operations planning. This study proposes the system design and verification method to reduce the uncertainties and a novel autonomous spacecraft operations planning method. The proposed method includes both hardware-related measures and software-related measures. The methods are verified numerically and experimentally, and the actual space experimentation will be performed shortly.
