About this technology
Overview
GMAT is a software system for trajectory optimization, mission analysis, trajectory estimation, and prediction. Analysts use GMAT to design spacecraft trajectories, optimize maneuvers, perform orbit determination, visualize and communicate mission parameters, and understand a mission's trade space. GMAT contains models of real-world objects such as spacecraft and thrusters, as well as analysis "objects" such as plots and reports. These objects are used in the mission sequence wherein the user employs commands supported by the system to model missions and perform estimation.
