Agenda
• Background• Examples• How AGI technology is applied to space• When AGI technology is applied to space
Pg 3 of 44AGI www.agiuc.com
Background
• STK, ODTK, NTK: “Tool Kit”– Many small tools that used together can model large
complex systems
• Models of how things move• Models of moving payloads on moving things
– Sensors– Antennas
• Models of how these moving things interact

Pg 23 of 44AGI www.agiuc.com
Error Analysis
– Tracking schedule to meet requirements
• With STK
– What types of tracking do I need
• Is it worth it to add additional hardware?

Rendezvous• Rendezvous: often used to describe getting a spacecraft from one orbit to a control
box near but offset from another– Rendezvous from 6678 km sma orbit to 6838 km sma orbit– 4 maneuvers used to execute 2 Hohmann transfers
• Proximity Operations: Begins after rendezvous– Very near another spacecraft (e.g., < 1 km)
• Docking: Controlling spacecraft to touch at desired velocity
