The purpose of this research at NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, is to allocate energy to laboratory experiments on the space station in a power starved environment. The problem is formulated as a zero/one integer linear program. The objective is to maximize the sum of the priorities of the candidate experiments. To assign quantitative priorities to experiments, measures for individual experiments provided by principal investigations with be multiplied by measures common to all experiments provided by a space station management committee. An impartial space station management committee will rate all experiments with respect to various factors, while principal investigators will specify the performance of their own experiments as a function of the energy allocated to them. An experiment selected by the zero/one program will receive energy associated with a power profile specified by the principal investigator. Numerical results are obtained for a small example problem involving two experiments. The energy allocation problem is solved on an IBM PC using the LINDO/PC code for zero/one variables.
