Problem the AI is intended to solve

Future space missions will enable unprecedented monitoring of the Earth's environment and will generate immense volumes of science data. Getting this data to ground communications stations, through science processing, and delivered to end users is a tremendous challenge. On the ground, the spacecraft's orbit is projected, and automated mission-planning tools determine which onboard-processing mode the spacecraft should use. The orbit determines the type of terrain that the spacecraft would be overflying—land, ice, coast, or ocean, for instance. Each terrain mask implies a set of requested modes and priorities.
