The invention relates to a method for planning the acquisition of images of terrestrial zones Z1,..., ZN, by a spacecraft in mission around the Earth, each terrestrial zone Zi being associated with a request Ri so that said zone Zi corresponds to a temporal interval of visual accessibility Ti. In addition, the method comprises the steps of: - determining for each interval Ti discrete acquisition opportunities Zi zone so that each discrete acquisition opportunity associated with a start date, a duration of execution, a kinematic local constraint and a weight, - grouping discrete acquisition opportunities Zi zones in a set D, - ranking discrete acquisition opportunities Di of the set D by increasing start date, - evaluation kinematic compatibility between said discrete acquisition opportunities of the set D, - determining an optimum sequence of discrete acquisition opportunities having a maximum weight, and kinematically compatible.
