Welcome to OD Toolbox

This is the wiki for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Orbit Determination Toolbox (ODTBX) project. For the project itself, visit the OD Toolbox SourceForge site.

Description and Objectives

Orbit determination analysis tool based on Matlab and Java that provides a flexible way to do early mission analysis, especially for formation flying and exploration systems. The objectives of the project are to:

• Allow new navigation models to be built up from object-oriented class libraries.
• Integrate the new system into the GMSEC information bus to demonstrate its utility to non-MOC users, e.g. IMDC.

OD Toolbox is composed of two parts: Matlab code and the Java Astrodynamics Toolkit.

Approach

• Matlab is the primary user interface, and is used for building up new navigation models.
• The Java Astrodynamics Toolkit is used as an engine for things that might be slow or inefficient in Matlab, like high-fidelity trajectory propagation, ephemeris lookups, precession, nutation, polar motion calculations, file parsing, etc.
