| Project | Date | Accomplishment and Impact |
|---|---|---|
| EMTG-GMAT Integration | 2014-Present | Accomplishments: Now able to export simple low-thrust trajectories designed in EMTG into GMAT reasonably robustly. Development took 3 months of 1.5 summer intern time. Modified EMTG to write out GMAT scripts and re-optimize patched conic solutions using fully integrated dynamics in GMAT. Impact: Rapid mission development by using medium fidelity guesses from EMTG to seed high fidelity trajectory optimization in GMAT. |
| Force Model Interface | 2011 | Accomplishments: Won an IRAD to expose force model interface to MATLAB for use of high fidelity dynamics models by other tools. Wrote prototype interface. Impact: Don’t need to redevelop dynamics models when doing analysis in MATLAB or C. (Still prototype though). |
