BIRDs EYE VIEW (BEV)

Bird’s Eye View (BEV) is a 3-D real-time application that provides a high degree of Situational Awareness for the crew. Its purpose is to instantly convey important motion-related parameters to the crew and mission controllers by presenting 3-D simulated camera views of the International Space Station (ISS) in its actual environment Driven by actual telemetry, and running on board, as well as on the ground, the user can visualize the Space Station relative to the Earth, Sun, stars, various reference frames, and selected targets, such as ground-sites or communication satellites. Since the actual ISS configuration (geometry) is also modeled accurately, everything from the alignment of the solar panels to the expected view from a
selected window can be visualized accurately.

BEV was used for over a decade in the ISS Mission Control Center at NASA Johnson Space Center. 

SPACECRAFT OPERATIONAL DESIGN & ANALYSIS TOOL (SODA)

Spacecraft Operational Design & Analysis (SODA) software package is a stand-alone Windows application used to rapidly and easily evaluate Spacecraft mission scenarios and hardware designs without the need to first develop flight control systems. Mission scenarios include proximity operations under thruster/cmg control, docking/undocking at user selectable ports, attitude hold propellant/momentum, free drift rates, post-docking states due to misalignment. Hardware design evaluation includes thruster definition and sizing, spacecraft control authority using built in 6DOF optimal jet select, thruster plume impingement, spacecraft surface geometry builder.

SODA was developed for Bastion Technologies Inc and is being used on the NASA Mission  And Program Integration (MAPI) contract. The plume impingment results generated by SODA have been validated against 4 visiting vehicle docking/undocking to International Space Station flight data.
