A Rectangular Cuboid Satellite Module Layouts Method Based on Integer Optimization

According to the module layout design properties problem of rectangular cuboid satellite, a new layout optimization strategy of satellite module with constraints is proposed. Firstly, taking the module layout design of rectangular cuboid satellite as background, the mathematical model of satellite module layout optimization is constructed. Then the layout order of packing modules is regarded as the design variable with introducing the idea of integer optimization. Finally, this layout optimization strategy is applied to an example of satellite module layout design and simulation results demonstrate the efficacy and efficiency of this layout optimization strategy. This strategy can effectively reduce the difficulty of satellite module layout design and provide much to improve the efficiency of rectangular cuboid satellite overall design.
