Abstract

In order to adapt to the trend of visualization of satellite mission, building a real time visual simulation platform is needed. Based on Satellite Tool Kit (STK) and MATLAB / SIMULINK, the Displayer Terminal written by VC++ through the use of STK / Connect interface technology and STK / X embedded technology was build, as well as the real time satellite mission analysis simulation model which was created by SIMULINK blocks through the use of Real-Time Windows Target technology. The Data Processing Server written by VC++ received the real time satellite mission outputs, made them to be STK/Connect commands, and sent them to visualize in the Displayer Terminals. Then an integrated visual environment for satellite mission design and analysis was formed. The Platform can be used to optimize and verify the satellite mission.
