MDS Solaris

About

Mission Design Simulator (MDS) is a computationally accurate and near photo-realistic space mission design simulator suited for simulating a multitude of complex mission scenarios in space including rendezvous proximity operations (RPO).

The simulator is a comprehensive virtual environment where users can prototype and test their entire space missions in-real time using one software package. Coupled with a flexible API, this enables "in-the-loop" simulations, allowing extensive space mission testing simulations. This is a fundamentally different approach compared to the industry standard tools. MDS allows users to minimize errors as well as significantly reduce development time and costs through quick mission prototyping.
