In this letter, we study the optimum selection of ground stations (GSs) in RF/optical satellite networks (SatNets) in order to minimize the overall installation cost under an outage probability requirement. First, we show that the optimization problem can be formulated as a binary-linear-programming problem, and then we give a formal proof of its NP-hardness. Furthermore, we design a dynamic-programming algorithm of pseudo-polynomial complexity with global optimization guarantee as well as an efficient (polynomial-time) approximation algorithm with provable performance guarantee on the distance of the achieved objective value from the global optimum. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithms is verified through numerical simulations.
