Abstract
Using concepts from multivariate utility theory, basic orbital mechanics, and information regarding operational and planned meteorological satellites, this thesis develops a meaningful MOE to support high-level decision making regarding the allocation, acquisition, and operational deployment of space meteorological satellite (METSAT) assets. Satellite meteorological systems were chosen because of the ready availability of pertinent unclassified data. However, the methodology presented may be applied to any type of space system.
