Focusing on the problems that the model description of the multi-satellite spacecraft tracking
telemetry and command(TT&C)resources scheduling systems are commonly complicated and that the existing solution algorithms are usually not appropriate to large scale instances
the multi-satellite TT&C resources scheduling system is converted into a maximum independent set(MIS)problem in a special class of graphs by exploiting the binary-structure of the system constraints. Then a new Memetic algorithm with predictive selection is proposed to solve the strong deceptive problem that comes from highly multi-peak distributed structure of the MIS. An efficient and fast predictive operator is designed based on the analysis of the reachable domains. The operator can predict the maximum accessible profit of the crossover operation with different objects
and selects the best crossover object from several candidate ones
thereby searches for promising solutions. Simulation results on large scale benchmark graphs show that
the predictive selection strategy reduces effects of the deceptive problem and that the performance of Memetic algorithm is improved at an average of 17%.
