Ground System Development

a.i. solutions develops software used both on the ground and on-board satellites for routine and mission-unique astrodynamics and flight dynamics functionality. We have developed custom tools for mission-unique functionality, in addition to customizing and configuring commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) satellite ground system components. We support integration, simulation and testing in the Satellite/Mission Operations Center environments. a.i. solutions has integrated FreeFlyer, MATLAB, STK and various government proprietary tools with a variety of TT&C systems, both commercial and government. We develop custom ground utilities for off-line analysis that calibrate and troubleshoot on-board orbit and attitude system. We have developed flight software used for on-board orbit determination and automated maneuver planning. Typical functionality of developed systems includes:

  • mission planning
  • trajectory design
  • orbit maneuver planning and calibration
  • ascent profiles & planning
  • conjunction assessment/collision avoidance
  • orbit determination
  • orbit prediction and control
  • attitude determination
  • attitude prediction and control
  • sensor calibration
  • sensor bias/alignment/scale factor determination
  • orbit product generation and delivery
  • station acquisition data
  • attitude maneuver planning and reorientation
  • coverage analysis
  • flight dynamics performance trending
  • fuel bookkeeping & lifetime analysis
  • end-of-life and disposal
  • constellation phasing and formation flying

Satellite Ground Systems & Applications FreeFlyer-based Systems Flight Software
a.i. solutions designs, develops, integrates and tests components for satellite grounds systems and off-line utilities that are provide satellite flight dynamics and mission planning functionality
a.i. solutions has used its commercial application, FreeFlyer, as the core engine to develop a variety of mission-specific ground software used in spacecraft operations.
a.i. solutions has developed flight software used for autonomous station-keeping maneuver planning and for onboard orbit determination.
