FreeFlyer Simulations & Movies

FreeFlyer comes with a variety of demonstration mission plan scenarios that users can tailor to meet their own mission-unique requirements. The scenarios below demonstrate some of FreeFlyer’s capabilities to perform a variety of analyses and spacecraft operations functions including, but not limited to, 2D and 3D visualization, orbit propagation, hardware modeling, coverage analysis and sensor visibility analysis.

International Space Station (ISS) Demonstration

In this International Space Station (ISS) demonstration, FreeFlyer displays a 3D visual of the ISS as it orbits the Earth. As part of this demonstration, the solar arrays are shown tracking the Sun.

Battlespace Communications Analysis using FreeFlyer

Battlespace Communications demonstrates the use of FreeFlyer to provide coverage analysis for battlefield scenarios. This scenario presents one spacecraft in a low-Earth orbit (LEO), another in a polar orbit, and yet another in a geostationary orbit. Ground Stations are setup at Kwajalein, Madrid, and Vandenberg, while a command center is setup in Baghdad. FreeFlyer produces Contact start and end.
