MISSION ANALYSIS
Engaging in the design of new space missions, studying their viability, determining optimal benchmarks to maximize scientific return, proposing new paths, establishing space mission objectives, providing space mission recovery or extension alternatives, supporting telecommunications satellite placements, and providing satellite constellation designs for optimal coverage are just some of the fascinating activities provided by GMV in this field.
We provide solutions for all mission types, particularly interplanetary, scientific, earth observation, orbital transport and infrastructure, navigation and telecommunications missions. We also provide support for launcher mission analysis and orbital debris tracking and monitoring.
Starting in 1985, GMV has been providing mission analysis systems and tools for practically all European Space Agency missions. Our experts have also been providing support to system and design studies for numerous space missions at the pre-phase and A phase levels.
Besides, our systems, tools, and know-how provide solutions to telecommunications satellite commercial operators.
GMV's main mission analysis activities include:
- Orbit Design and Analysis, Formation Flights, Constellations and Space Missions.
- Path Analysis and Optimization.
- Launch Window Analysis and Generation.
- Navigation Studies.
- Algorithm Definition for Precise Orbit Determination.
- Coverage and Visibility Analysis.
- Communications Performance Analysis and Radio Interference Studies.
