Why is it important?

This is a task which requires currently a dedicated human planner dedicated for 2 days per week. The tool will automate the process and provide more optimized and robust solutions to the planning problem.

Perspectives

The project started as a Master Thesis for now Cluster-II Spacecraft Operations Engineer N. Faerber, and has thus far provided very encouraging results.
