 FLIGHT DYNAMICS INTELLIGENT
EXECUTIVE
Flight Dynamics - The study of the motion of an aircraft or satellite.
With the advent of multi-satellite mission operations with stringent
maintainence strategies, the workload on the operations staff was becoming
more and more complex. To streamline the flight dynamics activities, an
integrated Flight Dynamics Software System was developed

Flight dynamics executive system

• It plays a major role in integrating all flight dynamics related activities.

• It provides a multi-satellite environment wherein the entire flight dynamics

operation of the satellite is carried out under a single roof

•The Executive is supported by the database system which provides a common

data platform where the entire FD results are posted and retrieved to carry out
FD operations .
 INTRODUCTION
•The FDSS uses several packages with many input options that
are to be executed on regular basis or whenever an analysis is
required.
This calls for intense user friendliness of the system.
•The Flight Dynamics mission operational software packages
consists of several modules which are to be executed in a
scheduled way at the Mission Operations Center.

•The Flight Dynamics related operations produce various

information like orbital events, maneuver details and
tracking quality details which are utlized during the life of the
mission.
EXISTING SYSTEM
• Was developed using FORTRAN,C .
• Uses Oracle as a Database Management System.
• It runs on the UNIX operating system.
• It has a command line interface.

Motivation For Improvement in Existing System

• Minimize Interface problems between the executive and the
existing operational FD module.
• Make individual FD modules independent of the class of
satellite.
• To completely rule out the command line interface and to
introduce the menu based interface.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

• To be developed using JAVA.

• Should use MYSQL as a Database
Management System.
• Needs to run on the LINUX operating system.
• Provide a better UI.
• Use of OpenGL to plot graphs on the data
(satellite parameters) retrieved from the
database.
 FD MODULE STRUCTURE

• For the different class of satellites the design structure

remains the same but the individual functions at

different layers will change to cater to the new class of
satellites
• The important design feature of the executive is
configuring itself dynamically according to the
configuration database
THE EXECUTIVE
• The Executive provides the user interface
using which any of the FD modules can be
invoked.
• This keeps all other information about
standard input module hidden from the user.
• The Executive also facilitates the execution of
a sequence of FD modules and to cater to the
simultaneous multi-satellite operations.
• The Database which caters to the needs of the
FDSS forms an integral part of the system.
THE DATABASES

• Primarily two databases are used to support the day to

day operations of FDSS.
• These are
1. The Current Database(CDB).
2. The History Database(HDB).
• The CDB provides latest values to the entire system.
• CDB is constituted by three types of data
1.Satellite Independent data
2. Satellite Dependent Constant data
3. Satellite Dependent Dynamic data
• Once the FD module completes
execution successfully, the executive
attaches the satellite ID to the output of
the module, passes it to the HDB update
module which automatically updates the
table after proper validation.

• Hence as new satellite missions are to be

supported the HDB structure does not
change.
