We present a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) framework specifically designed for planetary exploration. Our work is based on PROMETHEE II, which allows operators to add task-specific criteria and conditions. We extended this algorithm to improve its resource usage by reducing the number of candidate exploration goals that have to be evaluated and compared. This is crucial when given a large ...
