A practical approach to astronomy mission replanningThe schedule editing concept called EDTRON is presented and its features and functions in the overall mission planning scheme and the experience obtained from its first use during the Astro-1 mission are presented. This EDTRON program was designed specifically to edit the astronomy schedules generated by the ASTAR project, but any schedule with the same on/off format can be successfully changed. Though designed for the real-time environment concept, it can also be employed premission for schedule modification in situations where elements of the baseline schedule need to be preserved or when new requirements emerge that cannot be defined in existing scheduling algorithms.
