Mission Analysis
Mission Analysis
Mission Analysis is responsible for application of orbital mechanics to the practical problems concerning the motion the satellite. Additionally, the team is responsible for designing the mission architecture and assessing the feasibility of comprehensive mission designs. Mission Analysis is currently simulating potential Low Earth Orbits and will also be continuing research on Lunar and NEA simulations for the future.
