Satellite Tool Kit from Analytical Graphics, Incorporated is the most
widely used, state of the art, orbit simulation, visualization, and analysis
software that is becoming standard across NASA and industry.
Used by JSC Shuttle Mission Control to show the attitude and position of
the Shuttle in real time while on orbit.
Used by JPL to visualize deep space missions.
Used by GSFC for earth orbital mission analysis.
Used by industry for analysis and visualization of proposed satellite constellations.
STK provides the Glenn Research Center Systems Engineering Division
with a visualization and analysis tool to enhance its capability to analyze
complex spacecraft and orbit problems and effectively communicate new mission
concepts. Among it's many capabilities, the Systems Engineering Division
uses STK for:
High fidelity images and simulations of spacecraft and orbits.
Orbit determination and visualization.
Spacecraft attitude determination and visualization.
Real time trajectory visualization from the output of trajectory optimization
programs.
