TLDR
The ESA Rosetta Science Ground Segment has developed a science scheduling system that includes an automated scheduling capability to assist in developing science plans for the Rosetta Orbiter and how this software is used is focused on.Abstract:
Rosetta is a European Space Agency (ESA) cornerstone mission that entered orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014 and will escort the comet for a 1.5 year nominal mission offering the most detailed study of a comet ever undertaken by humankind. The Rosetta orbiter has 11 scientific instruments (4 remote sensing) and the Philae lander to make complementary measurements of the comet nucleus, coma (gas and dust), and surrounding environment.
The ESA Rosetta Science Ground Segment has developed a science scheduling system that includes an automated scheduling capability to assist in developing science plans for the Rosetta Orbiter. While automated scheduling is a small portion of the overall Science Ground Segment (SGS) as well as the overall scheduling system, this paper focuses on the automated and semi-automated scheduling software (called ASPEN-RSSC) and how this software is used.read more

Timeline-based planning: Expressiveness and Complexity.
TL;DR: This thesis provides the first detailed account of formal and computational properties of the timeline-based approach to planning, shows that a particularly restricted variant of the formalism is already expressive enough to compactly capture action-based temporal planning problems, and shows that winning strategies for such games can be found in doubly-exponential time.

A Generalized Timeline Representation, Services, and Interface for Automating Space Mission Operations
Steve Chien,Mark D. Johnston,Jeremy Frank,Mark Giuliano,Alicia Kavelaars,Christoph Lenzen,Nicola Policella +6 more
TL;DR: A basic timeline representation that can represent a set of state, resource, timing, and transition constraints is described and a number of planning and scheduling systems designed for space applications are described and described how they do and do not map onto this timeline model.

Timeline-based space operations scheduling with external constraints
TL;DR: A greedy heuristic scheduling algorithm is described and its performance is compared to both the prior scheduling algorithm and a relaxed optimal scheduler showing that the greedy scheduler produces schedules with scene count within 15% of an upper bound on optimal schedules.
