1 Flight-dynamics Simulation Tools 2 nd ESA Workshop on Astrodynamics Tools and Techniques ESTEC, September 13-15, 2004 Erwin Mooij

2 Introduction (1) Areas of interest (not complete): Load analysis and impact-area determination free-falling objects Conceptual design of flight vehicles Design and/or verification of GNC systems of space planes (ascent/descent) Design and/or verification of AOCS of satellites Mission design and requirements verification Aero-elasticity versus control-system performance... Traditionally different tools for different problem areas More important: new tools for new projects! 1
