Time-expanded network model cuts complexity in mega constellation launch planning
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 30, 2025
Large Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations promise continuous, high-capacity information services, but planners must work within limits set by launch cadence, payload capacity, and orbital mechanics to deploy satellites in batches at reasonable cost. Researchers Junru Lin, Tiantian Zhang, and Min Hu at Space Engineering University in Beijing have developed an optimization framework that keeps de
