Abstract: This paper focusses on scope of development of concept for the operational scheduling algorithm for Veltech small satellite. Small Satellite consists of bus sub systems, payload sub-systems and will have various operational modes. Satellite works on operational software controlling the total spacecraft. It operates and involves in monitoring different subsystems and controlling them to achieve/ decide mode of operation as per the required operational scheduling. Nominally the major scheduling of the satellite is done on the ground by a team of mission experts to analyze the data with support of the ground software modules. In the current paper it is explored to see scope of the scheduling operations onboard the spacecraft for using Heuristic approach.
