AstroFDS is a Flight Dynamics System for Orbit Analysts to use in Space Mission Operations.

AstroFDS supports multi-user, multi-satellite, cloud-based systems and provides interfaces, workflows, and configuration control of the commercial software Ansys/AGI STK and ODTK.

By managing the various inputs and outputs, file naming and retrieval, and consistently configuring ODTK and STK with operational settings, AstroFDS allows the Orbit Analyst to focus on specific tasks that the human operator can uniquely perform, such as trajectory design interaction and filter tuning and calibration.

Reduce Manual User Entry, Automate Routine Processes, & Reduce Operational Cost & Risk
