"SPICE" (*) is an information system, comprising both data and software, providing engineers and scientists with the geometry data needed to help design robotic solar system missions, conduct mission engineering operations, plan observations from instruments, and analyze the data returned from those observations. The SPICE system has been used on the majority of worldwide planetary exploration...

The paper is presenting a newly developed modular toolbox named Strathclyde Mechanical and Aerospace Research Toolbox for Uncertainty Quantification (SMART-UQ) that implements a collection of intrusive and non intrusive techniques for polynomial approximation and propagation of uncertainties. Non intrusive methods build the polynomial approximation of the uncertain states through sampling of...

CelestLab is a free and open source spaceflight dynamics Scilab toolbox developed by CNES that is particularly suited to mission analysis. The toolbox contains about 250 functions related to coordinate systems (IERS 2010 conventions), orbit propagation, geometry and events, force models, orbit properties and more. Lots of examples, demos, help pages and tutorials are provided which makes it...

Orekit is a core space flight dynamics library published as free software under the terms of the permissive Apache Software License V2.
Since its inception in 2002, Orekit was designed as a low level layer providing the foundation objects for operational applications.
From the very beginning, the foundation objects included time, frames, orbits, but also attitude, maneuvers and a rich...

Recent standardization efforts in Europe have led to the publication of the ECSS Control Performance Standard E-ST-60-10C and the ESA Pointing Error Engineering Handbook ESSB-HB-E-003, which are instrumental in defining a clear pointing error engineering methodology for ESA projects.
The necessity for such methodology gains in importance as current and future ESA missions, especially...
