Abstract

The present invention discloses a partition satellite mission planning method for earliest completion of regional target coverage, which includes the following steps: 1. partitioning a to-be-observed rectangular region; 2. allocating observation resources to different regions and selecting certain coverage opportunities and coverage modes thereof to minimize completion time corresponding to a formed coverage solution. The present invention can obtain a satisfactory solution capable of finishing complete coverage of regional targets as early as possible with sufficient observation resources through suitable calculation resources and achieve balance between the consumption of calculation resources and optimality of solutions, so that satellite resources can be fully used to conduct the quick and effective coverage search for important regional targets in a real environment.
