A high-fidelity aerospace simulation environment designed to visualize orbital mechanics, spacecraft dynamics, and mission operations in real time. The simulator serves as both an engineering tool and an educational platform for aerospace system development.
Create an accurate yet interactive simulation capable of reproducing realistic spacecraft behavior while remaining flexible enough for integrating future GNC, ADCS, and mission-planning modules.
Approach
Implemented a modular simulation engine combining orbital mechanics, spacecraft dynamics, visualization, and numerical integration techniques. The architecture emphasizes extensibility, allowing new spacecraft subsystems and control algorithms to be integrated with minimal modifications.
Outcome
Delivered a scalable spacecraft simulator suitable for validating aerospace algorithms, demonstrating orbital maneuvers, and supporting future research in autonomous space systems.
Tools
PythonNumPyMatplotlib
