Mission Simulation Tool

Kurzfassung

To increase the efficiency of existing and future Earth observation and reconnaissance systems a tool is necessary to simulate the complete system chain for single and for joint missions. The major part is a mission simulator for the analysis and optimization with respect to given constraints, i.e. user requests, geographical or time depending coverage, etc. The simulation tool has a modular structure and is able to interact with platforms like cars, trucks, manned and unmanned planes, ships, and spacecraft. The four main modules of the mission simulator are the Mission Analyzer, the Mission Planner, the Satellite Simulator, and the Coverage Analysis Tool.
