ORBITAL PARTICULATE TRAJECTORY MODEL (OPT)

Description:

The Orbital Particulate Trajectory Model (OPT) was constructed around the JPL orbital trajectory program, Artificial Satellite Analysis Program (ASAP). OPT was developed to provide a means of predicting the motion of released particulates as a function of time relative to the spacecraft coordinate system as well as in an Earth centered coordinate system. OPT is useful in determining particulate recontact potential based on particulate release conditions, and for determining the location of particulates in instrument fields-of-view as a function of time.
