ANALYSIS OF MODELING RELATED TO DATA TRANSFER BY SATELLITES

With the technological advances of the last decade, the use of satellites has expanded exponentially, since the technology allows the gradual reduction of satellite costs, as well as expands the possibilities of their use. From this scenario, the present article presents the problem of scaling up data acquisition and download by satellites and ground stations, taking into account a planning horizon. In this sense, we seek to find a mathematical model that optimizes this sequencing of information in order to meet the priorities and operational constraints applicable to a feasible conjuncture. Other studies were used to guide the present study, as well as modifications related to the type of modeling and the objective function adopted.
