The FCS-ATOMIC toolbox simulates the two segments of spacecraft control: the space segment and the ground segment. Mission designers to use at any time during the mission development process to optimise spacecraft control systems.
To use the tool, the mission designer fills in details about the spacecraft, including how it will move through space, how fast it will travel and what kind of instruments it will host. The tool then puts this information into simulations to calculate the resultant mass, cost and risk of the chosen strategy. The user can then change the information to try to optimise the final mission.
