About this technology

Overview

VIRGO is a practical, analytical and hardworking 3D visualization tool leveraging python-VTK. Built to fulfill the needs of engineering analysts at Johnson Space Center, VIRGO consumes time-history data of object positions, orientations, and other engineering states and provides the user with an interactable window to visualize these objects and how they move in 3D space. Although VIRGO is designed specifically for Trick (https://github.com/nasa/trick) simulation use-cases in the GN&C realm, it can consume data in a simple comma separated variable (CSV) format and is therefore able to visualize data originating from other tools as well.
