Real-Time Telemetry-Driven Visualizations of Space Vehicles Paul Sorensen & Dave Sherrier Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company
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
Experience with Live Telemetry • All Titan launches since 1997 • All Atlas launches since 1999 • 3DMSS 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)
Smart View Auto Send Dynam Text Suite of Real-time Tools • Java applications • Completely configurable from the GUI* • Sends STK commands via CONNECT module
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
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
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
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
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
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
