  Abstract                 = {Mission planning operations of Earth observing satellites involve acquisition of images and downlinking (downloading) the acquired images of prescribed areas of the Earth to one or more ground stations. Efficient scheduling of image acquisition and image downlinking plays a vital role in successful satellite mission planning. The image acquisition and downlinking operations are often interlinked and solved using heuristic algorithms that take advantage of the flexibility allowed within such integrated systems. In this chapter, we study the mission planning operations of Canada’s Earth observing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, RADARSAT-2.},
