The GMAT development team is pleased to announce the release of GMAT version R2022a. The binaries are available here. New features in this release include TLE and covariance propagation, N-plate SRP models and solve-fors, an operational Extended Kalman Filter Smoother, planetographic (e.g., South Atlantic Anomaly) region entry and exit calculations, an Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) capability and contact calculations using station masks. In addition, the API interface is now production quality. For a complete list of new features, compatibility changes, and bug fixes, see the Release Notes in the Users Guide. We are excited to report that GMAT continues to see significant adoption for operational mission support. For example, the Fermi low Earth NASA mission, which uses the GPS point solution data type for ground based orbit determination, started using GMAT's Extended Kalman Filter Smoother (EKFS) for operations in July 2021. |
Do you want to go to Mars but don't know when to leave or how much to bring? Do you want to land something on the moon? The General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) is an open-source space mission analysis tool to answer just those types of questions. GMAT is developed by a team of NASA, private industry, public, and private contributors. GMAT is intended both for real-world engineering design studies and as a tool for education and public engagement in the spirit of the NASA Charter.
