Abstract:
Satellite mission design requires simulating realistic observations to determine the ex-pected accuracy of the orbit determination. Generating observations for satellites is com-plicated because actual observations are affected by many factors, including operational limitations. Target satellite catalogs must be accurate. Sensor access must be realistic and include additional constraints of scanning, range, lighting, frequency, elevation, cadence, observation scheduling, and sensor limitations. A generic architecture is developed to in-teract with a variety of simulation tools. Examples are provided using STK and ODTK for satellites observed from the AFSPC SSN, optical, transponder, and SLR networks.
