An integrated estimation and modeling environment for the design of the Orbital Space Plane

The development of simulation models can be time consuming and highly dependant on system data being widely available. When using simulation modeling to analyze future systems, system data may not be available for the system under study and simulation results are often needed within a short time frame to support early system design efforts. This paper presents a parametric estimation/generic simulation integrated environment developed to facilitate the rapid development of valid simulation models for the Orbital Space Vehicle ground processing operations.
