Rosetta was a European Space Agency (ESA) cornerstone mission that launched in March 2004, exited hibernation in January 2014, entered orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014, and escorted the comet through September 2016, executing the most detailed study of a comet ever undertaken by humankind. The Rosetta Orbiter had 11 scientific instruments (4 remote sensing) and the Philae Lander to make complementary measurements of the comet nucleus, coma (gas and dust), and surrounding environment. The ESA Rosetta Science Ground Segment (SGS) used a science scheduling system that included an automated scheduling capability to assist in developing science plans for the Rosetta Orbiter. While the automated scheduling was a small portion of the overall SGS as well as the overall scheduling system, this paper focuses on the automated and semi-automated scheduling software (called Automated Scheduling and Planning ENvironment - Rosetta Science Scheduling Component (ASPEN-RSSC)) discussing: 1) the scheduling and constraint checking capabilities of ASPEN-RSSC; and 2) how the software was used pre-exit from hibernation, prelander delivery, and escort phase of the mission; 3) challenges in using the software and lessons learned for future use of automated scheduling technology for future space missions.

罗塞塔（Rosetta）是欧洲航天局（ESA）的基石飞行任务，于2004年3月发射，于2014年1月退出休眠状态，于2014年8月进入围绕彗星67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko的轨道，并护送彗星至2016年9月，进行了最详细的研究人类所经历过的一颗彗星。Rosetta Orbiter拥有11台科学仪器（4台遥感仪），而Philae Lander则对彗核，彗形像​​差（气体和尘埃）以及周围环境进行了补充测量。ESA Rosetta科学地面部分（SGS）使用了包括自动调度功能在内的科学调度系统，以协助制定Rosetta Orbiter的科学计划。虽然自动排程在整个SGS和整个排程系统中只占一小部分，本文着重介绍自动和半自动调度软件（称为自动调度和计划环境-Rosetta科学调度组件（ASPEN-RSSC）），其中包括：1）ASPEN-RSSC的调度和约束检查功能；2）在冬眠，预着陆器交付和任务护航阶段如何预先使用该软件；3）在使用软件方面的挑战和在未来的太空任务中使用自动调度技术的经验教训。
