Kren Space Tools

Mission-grade aerospace workflows for orbit, spacecraft, and ground operations.

About

Kren Space Tools provides high-fidelity dynamic models with support for Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) interfaces, emulation of flight software, guidance, navigation and control systems, and power subsystems. Kren Space Tools integrates real-time control and maneuvering support using the Mission Control and Plan module. It also includes native tools for real-time sensor calibration supported by Machine Learning.

  • Visualize satellites in 3D Orbit, GroundTrack and 3D Attitude in mission mode or Real time.
  • Create and optimize mission analysis concepts.
  • Create constellation.
  • Propagate reported debris to analysis collision probability in real time.
  • Analysis Access Link between satellite and groundstation.
  • Create and analysis satellites subsystems with modeled components.
  • Create full ADCS emulation with components.
  • Link external algorithm to test ADCS in Software in the Loop (SIL).
  • Connect real MCU to test in Hardware in the Loop (HIL).
  • Select manually CAD-base solar panel area to create energy budget report.

The following video shows a satellite in free rotation with surface properties. Here, Kren Space Tools demonstrates one of its capabilities: the interaction of surfaces with the Sun’s position based on the satellite’s position and attitude. You can also see the Sun’s reflection on Earth’s oceans.
