摘要

Previous studies of satellite module component (equipment) layout optimization usually initialized a component assignment in the initialization stage, which kept constant in following optimization process. The invariable component assignment will restrict the further improvement in layout optimization. To overcome this deficiency, an assignment and layout integration optimization method is presented for multi-module or supporting surface satellite module component layout design. The assignment and layout integration optimization model and the component reassignment model are built. The component reassignment model is solved by algorithms with new heuristic rule, and the integration optimization model itself is solved by evolutionary algorithm. The purpose of this article is to improve the computational performance of algorithms for multi-module or supporting surface satellite module component layout optimization. The proposed method is applied to a simplified satellite re-entry module component layout optimization problem to illustrate its effectiveness.
