Description

Simulating science objectives is an essential component of NASA missions to reduce risk, whether the target is Earth or any solar system body.nbsp;nbsp;As technology has improved, so has the fidelity, complexity, and precision of scientific instrumentation.nbsp;nbsp;In addition, modern communications bandwidth of the spacecraft allows for the transmit of more data than ever.nbsp;nbsp;These increased capabilities have placed extra demands on science data generation. Simulated science data for use innbsp;planningare required for a successful mission, not only in flight, butnbsp;through all stages of mission planning as well.nbsp;Unprecedented collaboration between science teams and operations teams require large swaths of cumbersome technology for sharing, integrating, and visualizing simulated data.nbsp;nbsp;This significant complexity hinders the ability of responsible parties to make informed, sensible, and rapid decisions.
