Abstract

A user-friendly, highly visual computer workstation-based satellite network evaluation tool is described. It is capable of providing end-to-end performance statistics in response to the specification of a wide variety of network geometries, modulation types, and routing protocols. A description of the algorithm structure and program flow is given. The software provides a highly interactive, visual, user-friendly tool for determining certain link statistics for a broad range of orbital and communication parameter options.<>
