ASPEN Mission Planner

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

Based on AI techniques, ASPEN is a modular, reconfigurable application framework which is capable of supporting a wide variety of planning and scheduling applications. ASPEN provides a set of reusable software components that implement the elements commonly found in complex planning/scheduling systems, including: an expressive modeling language, a resource management system, a temporal reasoning system, and a graphical interface.

Detailed example

Plan and schedule recommendations to optimize Science from Scientific Sensors.

AI / analytics pattern

Agentic AI: AI systems that perform tasks or make decisions autonomously with minimal human intervention.

Automation level / stage

c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.

Expected benefit

ASPEN has been used for many space missions including: Modified Antarctic Mapping Mission, Orbital Express, Earth Observing One, and ESA's Rosetta Orbiter.

Controls / human review
