Space exploration mission concurrent design and simulation research

Space exploration mission feasibility evaluation is a complicated process composed of design, simulation and optimization. These missions are multi-disciplinary and cover many domains, thus posing high demands on mission design and simulation analysis. Based on bi-level design process, studies were done on concurrent design and simulation methods for the space exploration mission evaluation platform. First, the architecture of the platform is built. Then, by analyzing the coupling between mission simulation models, also considering the characteristics of concurrent design, distributed simulation, an integrated evaluation method that contains design, optimization and simulation is put forward. This method is applied to the Solar Polar Orbit Radio Telescope (SPORT) Program to test the platform´s design and simulation ability.
