I was trying to run ultrasat scheduling and this was the error I am recieving. Moreover, the output file is empty

Would you please attach a copy of 6.fits?

I bet it's just running out of memory. The --duration and --time-step options have a big impact on the number of variables and hence the amount of memory required. The default value for --duration is 1 orbit and for --time-step is 1 minute. Since the model ULTRASAT orbit is a geosynchronous orbit with a period of 1 day, that's 1440 time steps.

Try adding the command line arguments --time-step 600s --duration 8h or making other adjustments to reduce the size of the problem.

If that doesn't fix it, then please reopen this issue.
