(Subject to change without notice, contact us for latest pricing.) ===================================================================== The Satellite Visualization Tool Release Two ===================================================================== The SVT is a powerful tool, utilizing the latest in object-oriented technology and double-precision calculations for accurate predictions and analysis. The SVT actually has three major tools integrated into one powerful application: ANIMATED TRACKING This provides the capability to display satellite positions, sensor coverage, solar illumination, target visibility, and other source- target relationship information in an animated fashion. This animation may be done in real time, or may be accelerated over time to rapidly show positional and relationship changes. Special site display windows are available to be used with a specified ground site. These windows show both graphically and numerically the current look angles, rise/set status and solar illumination status for all visible satellites. For constellations of more than 4 satellites, it will show Dilution Of Precision values for the currently visible targets. This is useful for GPS users who need positional reliability information for GPS geolocation data. ORBIT, SITE, AND SENSOR VISUALIZATION This provides the capability to visually analyze the orbits of single or multiple satellites and their sensor coverages in an Earth Centered Inertial view frame. It can also show the positions and sensor coverage of single or multiple ground sites in either 3D Earth Centered Fixed view frame or on selected mercator projection flat map displays. The orbit displays can show single orbits or up to 9 propagated orbits for any number of revolutions up to 999999 past epoch. Each orbit displayed can show the Node point, Mean Anomaly point, Apogee point, Perigee point, and the Epoch point. Multiple satellite orbit displays show the relationships of orbits in a constellation. For single satellite displays, keplerian data for the first and last revolution data can be displayed numerically on screen along with the graphical view. Sensor coverage for the satellite can also be displayed for any point along the orbit, and solar position/ terminator line can be displayed to show solar beta angle graphically. The site displays can show in 3D the site position and the area in space covered by the sensor. 11 different mercator projections maps are available to display site locations. Also available for a site display is a sky view, shown for a user selected date and time. This display shows either the sun and moon for day or moon and stars for night, along with the sensor coverage area, and a azimuth/elevation grid. PASS SCANNING AND ANALYSIS This provides the most powerful analysis tool in the product. With this tool, you can search for, display, visualize, print, and export source/target relationships over a specified period of time using a specifed search criteria. An exclusive feature of SVT is the abilty to do time correlated scans, which will find time segments in which ALL designated source/ target positions and relationships meet the search criteria. This is powerful feature which permits analysis of sophisticated multiple source/target scenarios. For example, you can determine the times when ground site A can see relay satellite B, and when relay satellite B can what elements of satellite constellation C, containing multiple satellites, and when ground site D can see relay satellite B. Data can be displayed using a variety of coordinate systems, units of measure, and display formats. Computed data and subsets thereof can be selectively displayed and analyzed. For any particular scan operation the following may be specified: o Time period of the scan. o Resolution of (time between) time points. o Source and target objects (any number). o Filter (search) criteria. During a scan operation, the positions of and relationship between each source/target pair are computed for each time point within the time period. The time between each time point is specified by the resolution. Each time point meeting the filter criteria is added to a time segment, with statistics and summary information for that time segment being automatically calculated. With data collected during a scan, the following may be done: o Display summary information for each time segment including: o Source and Target names o Duration of time segment. o Increment (resolution) o Time point data for the following statistical points: o Start, Mid & Stop points o Minimum Elevation point o Maximum Elevation point o Minimum Range point o Maximum Range o Minimum Range Rate point o Maximum Range Rate point o Select multiple time segment summaries to: o Visualize in 3D or on mercator projections o Compute and display Dilution of Precision (DOP) values for GPS analysis o Display a time correlation graph of time relationships between segments. o Print o Export o Select a single time segment summary to expand into component time points which can be displayed, printed, exported, and visualized against a sky view background. Time point data that can be displayed consists of: o Source/Target names o Date of point o Time of point o Target visiblity flag o Range Rate o Source position o Source velocity o Source solar illumination status o Target position o Target velocity o Target solar illumination status SOLAR BETA ANGLE AND PERCENT SUN Solar angle and percent sun values may be computed for any satellite in the satellite database. This data can be presented for one week, month, or year periods, at daily, weekly, or monthly increments. This data can be printed or exported. DATA MANAGEMENT In addition to the above major tools offered in the SVT, it also has built-in site and satellite data management tools which permit simple user maintenance of the data. With these tools the user is capable of adding, editing, deleting, and importing data elements. Data sets managed by the SVT are: o Satellite Vehicles o Earth Sites o Groups o Target Objects GRAPHICS The SVT takes advantage of high resolution capabilities of VESA compatible video displays (up to 1280x1024) to provide stunning visual presentations. With any available mode The SVT is capable of displaying: o Positions of any object. o 3D representation of sensor coverage for sites or satellites. o 3D visualization of orbit shapes of single or multiple satellites. Visualize the relationships of satellites within a constellation. Visualization can also be done while editing orbital elements to see effects of parameter changes. o 3D visualization of PROPAGATED orbit shapes of any of the satellites. Visualization can be made of up to 9 orbits propagated up to 999999 revolutions past the epoch revolution. o Lines of sight from source objects to target objects. o Altitude lines for all satellites. o Visibility footprints for all active satellites in 2D or 3D. o Satellite space position (with or without trail, and different colors for points illuminated by the sun) o Sub-satellite point position (with or without trail, and different colors for points visible by source) o Geographic features of the earth in 3 different detail levels. o Any combination of coasts, islands, countries, states, rivers and lakes. o Latitude and longitude lines. o 11 different mercator projection flat maps. o Earth Centered Fixed (ECF) 3D projections. o Earth Centered Inertial (ECI) 3D projections. o Ground Site viewing angles. o Site and satellite names GENERAL FEATURES o Runs in DOS Protected mode, which removes the 640K memory barrier.

With the SPT, you will have the ability to pre-configure scenarios which can be run from the DOS prompt in an automated fashion. The SPT is automated through a new Macro feature. Macros provide the capability of automating the operation of the SPT. Macros are "recorded" keystrokes that are contained in a collection and used to simulate the user typing keys on the computer keyboard. These recorded keystrokes do exactly the same things that the original keystrokes did. Macros can be saved to and loaded from files. They can even be specified on the command line at startup so that certain predetermined operations can be performed automatically. Parameter files (those files which configure targets, display attributes, data formats, scan times, etc.) may also be loaded from the command line, providing further automation control.
