The Synchronous Mission Analysis Program SYNMAP.

Abstract

A detailed description is given of the computer program SYNMAP, which uses a stochastic simulation method to determine the total velocity increment required for the station acquisition phase of a synchronous satellite orbit mission. The program takes account of errors due to launch vehicle injection, satellite tracking and apogee motor burn. A description is also given of the program POINT2, which may be used to generate the set of random transfer orbits required by SYNMAP. (Author)
