Chains also lets you group objects together, a very powerful capability which then lets you check access to the entire group. For instance, you can determine when a tank has access to at least four satellites in the GPS constellation. VO takes full advantage of today's most powerful graphical engines to create dynamic, state of the art visuals on command. PODS can also estimate ground facility locations, Earth geopotential model coefficents, solar pressure and atmospheric drag parameters, and observation data biases. All determined data is automatically incorporated into the STK data base, which allows storage, manipulation and export of the data to other applications.
Navigator handles both mission analysis and in flight operational maneuver planning and calibration.
It can rapidly analyze alternative mission profiles to determine constraints such as launch windows. With its targeting capabilities, Navigator allows mission planners to optomize the placement and duration of multiple burns when targeting a variety of goals. This system was used for orbit determination and analysis. Yes, the only drawback is that this software in entirely a Graphical User Interface and in trying to automate their system, other software products had to be used. Yes, we have included using this software in other proposals.
