Abstract

The multi-mission Dshell++ simulation framework has formed the basis for high-performance, physics-based simulations for a large variety of space mission simulations including cruise and orbiter spacecraft, Entry, Descent, Landing (EDL) missions as well as for planetary surface rovers. The Dspace interactive, reusable 3D visualization system has been developed to support the diverse visualization needs of such complex real-time simulations.
