Flight Mechanics Analysis Tools Interoperability and Component Sharing

Several NASA centers have developed independent flight mechanics tools to meet the science needs of missions. This NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) assessment sought to explore the ways to increase the interoperability of three specific tools: Copernicus from Johnson Space Center (JSC), the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) from Goddard Spaceflight Flight Center (GSFC), and the Mission-Analysis Operations Navigation Toolkit Environment (MONTE) from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Before this assessment, these tools were not integrated and could not easily share data, models, or components. This report contains the outcome of the NESC assessment.

Flight Mechanics Analysis Tools Interoperability and Component Sharing

As multiple flight mechanics (FM) analysis tools are developed to meet the unique scientific and operational requirements of NASA missions, sharing data, transferring models and trajectory information between tools can be complicated. The NESC recently explored ways that increase interoperability of three mission analysis tools: Copernicus, General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), and Mission-Analysis Operations Navigation Toolkit Environment (MONTE). These tools are used to generate a variety of products throughout all phases of a mission including: maneuver planning, trajectory optimization and design, orbit determination, performance and error analysis, trade studies and sizing. Establishing a framework to share models, component data and trajectory information is an efficient way to leverage the benefits of an analysis tool without expending development costs to duplicate functionality.
