Generating Lookup Tables from the AE9/AP9 Models

Abstract

A method of generating a set of static lookup tables from AE9/AP9 data in order to reduce the analysis time required for quick results while maintaining a high degree of agreement between the lookup tables and the AE9/AP9 models is investigated. Multiple orbits ranging from a LEO Sun synchronous orbit at a 350 km altitude to a Tundra orbit were looked at to determine the agreement of the static lookup tables to the AE9/AP9 model software results. It was determined that, for the orbits used in the validation study, the static lookup tables provided small enough errors to be considered a viable alternative to the AE9/AP9 software for fast turn-around conceptual level analysis.
