    Extension of Ops Simulators for Flight Dynamics

    Traditionally, the standard approach has been to develop two separate simulators for mission, as follows:

    • The Flight Dynamics (FD) team develops the High Precision Test Data Generator (HPTDG) in order to validate procedures, data products and timelines as well as the performance and functionalities of AOCS-related FD applications and systems.
    • The Mission Data System Section develops the operational simulators in order to validate Flight Control Procedures and the Mission Control System.

    Both simulators are also used for training purposes.

    With the evolution of mission requirements and simulator technologies, a working group was set up prior to Gaia simulator development in order to assess the possibility of satisfying both the Flight Dynamics and the Flight Control Team requirements using a single integrated simulator. The presentation will focus on the main drivers and challenges to this approach.

    The GAIA operational simulator will be the first simulator to serve both Flight Control and Flight Dynamics needs. Due to this, all the challenges of a combined system must be resolved. This includes a new interface to Flight Dynamics systems, higher performance requirements and new requirements for AOCS elements and Environment modelling.
