Abstract
This paper addresses the RPO constellation assignment problem by developing a responsive utility function for tasking a constellation of LEO satellites to several spacecraft servicing tasks. The paper develops the utility function that considers both value of servicing RSO spacecraft in conjunction with the associated ΔV cost. A highly-capable and operationally-relevant task allocation method, called the consensus-based bundle algorithm (CBBA), is leveraged for distributed processing and task allocation. This paper demonstrates that this methodology provides a robust technique for RPO constellation management.
