The Advanced Re-entry Vehicle (ARV) Simulator, simulates the dynamics, mechanics, and aerodynamics of a re-entry vehicle.
The ARV Simulator was inspired by the Apollo Mission Command Module (CM). This serves as a reference mission for the simulator, due to the high amount of information available online.
The simulator serves as an exercise to create an application which can output relevant results live, which can then be exported as professional plots to be used for reports. Further, it will act as personal development towards a better understanding of communication between different applications. While this may not be the most simple solution towards the software problem, it will enable learning of these topics and give an environment to apply best practises.
The aim of the project is to create an application which can be used to perform analysis on reentry vehicles in the preliminary stage of design.
- Have the simualtor able to model the dynamics of the spacecraft.
- Have the simulator able to model the aerodynamics of the spacecraft.
- Have the simulator able to create an application to plot live data.
- Develop libraries for plotting and network interfacing.
