Star Technologies has developed the Spacecraft Design Tool (SDT), a state-of-the
art high fidelity dynamic simulation tool that provides both simulation and
real-time data display capabilities.
SDT is the first product developed on Star Technologies’ open framework platform
for dynamic simulations. Built using the Microsoft® .Net Framework, SDT enables
users to rapidly design a complete spacecraft, including sensors, actuators, and
attitude determination and control systems (ADAC S). Customers will never feel
“locked-in” by a proprietary scripting language again.
Some of the technologies included:
- 3D Visualization rendering using Microsoft XNA technology
- Built-in scripting utilizing .Net languages such as C#, Javascript.
- Ability to create simulation models with any compiler which can create .Net assemblies.
- A drag-and-drop interface is used to provide a familiar environment for creating high-level simulation models with no programming required.
- Interfaces available to query the simulation remotely using MSN Messenger
- .Net Remoting is used to provide trainer and student workstations, allowing a trainer to control and peek at the simulation on multiple student workstations.
- Integrated help system, including API Documentation
- HTML Viewer window, utilizing Internet Explorer, allowing the tool to open a dynamic URL based on simulation data
The most cost effective solution to build your spacecraft, satellite and mission
critical design, that will take you to a whole new level FASTER!

Star Technologies has developed Satellite Builder, a graphical and physics level
tool designed to rapidly assemble Plug-and-Play satellites. Satellite Builder
uses 3D models of satellite components and automatically assembles a valid
satellite configuration. Upon completion, Satellite Builder can generate an
assembly plan and provide a set of instructions on how to assemble the actual
physical satellite.
Satellite Builder is one of the new tools Star Technologies is releasing in
support of AFRL’s Operational Responsive Space office as a key element of
achieving the stated ORS goal of a 6 day satellite.

Star Technologies is developing Spacecraft Design Tool/Ground Station (SDT/ GS).
SDT/GS is a Responsive Space Plug and Play-compliant ground station designed to
self-configure to a Satellite Data Model (SDM) based satellite. SDT/GS allow for
the browsing, command and control of a component or application’s XTEDS messages
at the individual variable level.

Star Technologies is developing the Data Visualization Tool (DVT) - a software
package designed to mainstream your data and export it to a variety of formats.
With DVT you can quickly add visualization to your legacy software applications,
as well as provide a go-forward route for new applications and projects. DVT
also includes the Microsoft .Net compiler for unlimited flexibility by allowing
scripting in your preferred programming language.
