Optimizing in advance: Shenzhou 8 space mission scheduling tryout architecture

To provide best scheduling solution for the Shenzhou 8 space mission, the scheduling algorithms and configurations are determined before actual mission platform developing using a tryout architecture in Beijing Aerospace Control Center. The architecture is designed agile and extendable so that various processes can be implemented to validate and optimize the algorithms rapidly. With this architecture, the scheduling solution is designed credible before applied in the formal mission scheduling mainframes.
