SOLIS

STK SOLIS provides a complete spacecraft simulation environment in STK. It includes full rotational dynamics, attitude determination and control, sensor and actuator models, and power and payload modeling. Rapidly evaluate system trade-offs and ensure that spacecraft capabilities and constraints are considered early and satisfied at all times. Save configurations as templates so that you can quickly react to a change in mission requirements.

SOLIS features an easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring spacecraft components including the sensor, actuator, propulsion, power, communications and payload models. Mission design engineers can rapidly evaluate system trade-offs and ensure that spacecraft capabilities and constraints are considered early and are being met. Once the optimal configuration is achieved, spacecraft templates can be created and saved. If mission requirements change, the templates can be quickly loaded and reconfigured to assess the impact of the changes to the spacecraft’s design.

After an accelerated design and analysis cycle using SOLIS, the resulting flight software configuration can be targeted for actual flight avionics at the touch of a button. This capability is enabled by the SOLIS architecture, which embeds a desktop version of ASI’s on-board flight software. This flight software architecture provides rapid spacecraft development, assembly, test and integration, as well as autonomous on-board operations and enhances integration and test with its high-fidelity “test like you fly” capabilities.

STK SOLIS is developed in coordination with Advanced Solutions, Inc. (ASI), an AGI business partner. ASI is an aerospace engineering company specializing in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) systems, flight software (FSW), spacecraft assembly/integration/test (AI&T), spacecraft mission operations, spacecraft command/telemetry systems, aerospace ground data systems, and dynamic space simulation.
