As the number of satellites in orbit surpasses ten thousand, EOS plays an indispensable role in environmental monitoring, disaster response, and military reconnaissance. However, the challenge extends beyond launching these satellites; effective long-term in-orbit management is crucial for maximizing their utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters delve into key concepts such as orbit dynamics, visibility geometry, and the intricacies of scheduling EOS tasks. Readers will encounter operations research-based models and innovative solution methods developed by the authors and their team. From classic scheduling problems to complex integrated scenarios involving target imaging and data transmission, this monograph presents a robust framework for tackling these challenges. The book also highlights future research directions, ensuring its relevance in the rapidly evolving space industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for researchers and engineers in operations research and EOS management, this monograph bridges the gap between theoretical models and practical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eWaiming Zhu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eDr. Waiming Zhu is a faculty member at Hefei University of Technology.
