Orbital Transfer Simulation in GMAT (General Mission Analysis Software) The General Mission Analysis Software (often referred as GMAT) is an open source software developed by NASA, which can be used for space mission analysis for eg; orbital transfer maneuvers, collision observations, etc. This software can be downloaded free from the NASA software catalogue. The following video demonstrates a simulation of a simple orbital transfer from a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to a Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) of a space craft using 2 propulsive burns. Reach out to us if you have any questions regarding this simulation, or any other simulations including control systems and FEA in general.
