Pg 1 of xx AGI Real-Time Telemetry-Driven Visualizations of Space Vehicles Paul Sorensen & Dave Sherrier Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company
Pg 2 of xx AGI Overview Use STK with live telemetry feeds Professional, Live Presentation –Executive-level views –Hands-off, dynamic views Focus –Dynamic text on 3D models Model Enhancer Application –Auto control of VO window view
Pg 3 of xx AGI Experience with Live Telemetry All Titan launches since 1997 All Atlas launches since DMSS contract with the Office of Space Launch –Visualize all NRO launches from host of vehicles Atlas V Titan IV Delta II Delta IV Satellites –After separation from launch vehicle A few minutes Life of vehicle (24/7 live visualization)
Pg 4 of xx AGI Smart View Auto Send Dynam Text Suite of Real-time Tools Java applications Completely configurable from the GUI* Sends STK commands via CONNECT module
Pg 5 of xx AGI Dynamically Updated Text on 3D Models DynamText Controls display of text on 3D Models –Time-dependent text –Articulation-based control Example Scenario Example DynamText SW Tool
Pg 6 of xx AGI 3D Model Enhancer Standalone application Allows user to: –Assign text areas to components of a model –Resize, re-orient & move the text area –Auto-load model into STK Modeler of choice –Save/reload/edit your work
Pg 7 of xx AGI 3D Model Enhancer—Advanced Options For each text area: user can specify the characters’… –Translucency –Backside visibility –Smooth vs.Sharp edges –Color/texture use –Font source Fidelity, language –Color/texture source
Pg 8 of xx AGI What model would you like to see? From STK’s “Models” directory I will: –Add two text areas –Show it to you at the end of this presentation
Pg 9 of xx AGI Auto Control of VO Window View SmartView Typical use of STK –STK-savvy operator sitting at terminal –Individual analysis capabilities –An operator controls views RTV use of STK –Numerous RTV-driven STK terminals no one sitting at terminals –Broadcast of visualization capabilities to a live customer audience Via projectors and video networks –Automated, precision controlled views needed
Pg 10 of xx AGI Auto Control of VO Window View SmartView Provides autonomous, consistent view capability Rotates through designated views –From/To Pointed Sensor –From/To Spinning Sensors –From AttachPoint to AttachPoint –Stored Views –Plus, dynamic control of overlays Telemetry-driven instance of SmartView –Changes views based on: Data connectivity Individual measurand values
