Embodiment Construction

[0019] Different advantageous embodiments note and take into account one or more different considerations. For example, the different advantageous embodiments note and take into account that space-based vehicle testing systems require different considerations than air vehicle, water vehicle, and / or land-based vehicle development and testing.

[0020] The different advantageous embodiments note and take into account that vehicles configured to operate in environments (e.g., outer space, microgravity) and other environments outside the Earth's atmosphere are different from vehicles configured to operate in air, water, and / or on land vehicles operate under different conditions. One definition of the dividing line between Earth's atmosphere and outer space is the Karman line. The Karman Line is the dividing line at an altitude of about 100 kilometers above sea level on Earth.

[0021] The different advantageous embodiments note and take into account that when a test vehicle is c...

Abstract

A method and apparatus comprising a location reference system (110) and a control module (108). The location reference system (110) is configured to generate location information for a number of mobile platforms (106) in an environment. The control module (108) is configured to receive the location information for the number of mobile platforms (106) from the location reference system (110). The control module (108) is further configured to generate command signals for the number of mobile platforms (106) using the location information. The control module (108) is further configured to send the command signals to the number of mobile platforms (106) to operate the number of mobile platforms (106) in the environment such that operation of the number of mobile platforms (106) emulates the operation of a number of spacecraft systems (101) in a non-Earth terrestrial environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the development and testing of vehicles, and more particularly to the development and testing of spacecraft systems. Background technique [0002] Currently available methods for developing and testing vehicles, such as space-based, water-based, and land-based vehicles, generally involve running both computer simulations and test models. However, running the computer simulation will take more time than desired. Further, computer simulations oversimplify many of the complexities of the actual system being tested. [0003] Similarly, model testing can be more expensive than desired. For example, model vehicles are only capable of flying for a limited number of hours under limited conditions due to factors such as operating costs, logistical issues, safety regulations, flight regulations, and / or other factors. [0004] A system that allows the development and testing of algorithms and configurations for vehic...
