Using Star TechnologiesÂ’ Spacecraft Design Tool (SDT) and SRA''s SCLÂ’s rules engine to develop on-orbit checkout automation for EO/IR sensors will allow flight ready algorithms to be verified in simulation. As the algorithms mature and excess time is driven from the timeline, the analysis tool can track the maturity of the algorithms.
Benefit: The SDT-SCL merged simulation and development platform provides a flexible, powerful platform to develop and verify on orbit flight software. Other companies in the flight software business will be interested in acquiring this for their own development. The automated checkout procedures will become standard deliverables from payload sensor vendors.
