Abstract

This study is based on the work performed by the authors, in the research project funded by Turkish Ministry of Defense under the lead of the Turkish Air Force. The first aim is to develop a computer simulation model to simulate launch missions of small satellites up to medium Earth orbits. The second aim is to apply the model to a specific launch problem, evaluate the results in terms of their validity and to conclude with an assessment on the realization of the problem by the current technological infrastructure in Turkey.
