Recently, renewed interest in cislunar space spurred by private and public organizations has driven research for future infrastructure in the region. As Earth-Moon traffic increases amidst a growing space economy, monitoring architectures supporting this traffic must also develop. These are likely to be realized as constellations of patrol satellites surveying traffic between the Earth and the Moon. This work investigates the concurrent optimization of patrol satellite phasing and tasking to provide information-maximal coverage of traffic in periodic orbits.
