Abstract :
Simulation and visualization are powerful decision making tools that are time saving and cost effective. Space missions pose testing and evaluation challenges that can be overcome through modeling, simulation, and visualization of mission parameters. The National Aeronautics and Space Administrationpsilas (NASA) Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) capitalizes on the benefits of modeling, simulation, and visualization tools through a project initiative called The Mission Planning Lab (MPL).
