PILOT
Parameterized Investigation of Launch Opportunities and Trajectories
The launch window for an earth satellite mission defines the dates and the times of day that a satellite can be launched and satisfy the mission constraints. The Parameterized Investigation of Launch Opportunities and Trajectories (PILOT) program was developed to perform mission simulation computations that yield data for use in delimiting optimum launch windows. The PILOT program performs parametric scans of a user specified trajectory over launch date and initital right ascension of the ascending node. During each scan various mission parameters are generated and output to a data file.
