STARMAD (Space Tool for Advanced and Rapid Mission Analysis and Design) is a proprietary software developed for the Windows operating system. It was developed by Davide Starnone, and officially owned under the company "SSBV". It handles and solves calculations that are commonly used in the space industry, such as figuring out Delta-V budget (to calculate orbit trajectory of a spacecraft), accounting propellant for payload to send into space, visualizing launch vehicles and performance, and estimating the complexity of a mission operation to space.[1]
It was designed to be utilized to lower the complications for launching commercial payloads into orbit (such as satellites). Other fundamental capabilities include the ability to evaluate and display results instantaneously, and the possibility to control all complex space mission subjects at the same point in time.
Notable features[edit]
STARMAD is a space mission analysis and design tool that can be used to perform the following tasks:[2]
1. Preliminary Orbit Analysis, in terms of Dynamics, Geometry, Maneuver and Maintenance, Interplanetary Transfer, and Delta-V Budget.
2. Observation Payload Analysis, in terms of Electromagnetic Spectrum, Optics, and Sizing, in order to calculate the needs of an observation satellite.
3. Assisting in spacecraft subsystems design, considering Attitude Control, Communications, Power System, Propulsion System, Structural Analysis and Thermal Control. For example, calculating the propellant required for a payload to be launched into orbit.
4. Viewing Launch and Transfer Vehicle Information, and calculating its possible performance and flaws.
5. Mission Operation Complexity, from the point of view of Mission Design and Planning, Flight System Design, Operational Risk Avoidance, and Ground Systems. This is generally used for planning launch and space missions, and estimating the complexity of such tasks.
These features are accompanied by a graphical interface for the user to input numbers and values to calculate a result. This can be utilized to simulate the outcome of a mission, as well as print out a mission report.
History[edit]
In 2007, STARMAD was created by Davide Starnone and was under the ownership of Star-N1 Engineering. For the following years, it was promoted by him through several International Conferences, such as the "IAC". In 2014, SSBV, a Dutch-led technology-driven company active in the domains of aerospace and defense, acquired STARMAD from Star-N1 Engineering.[citation needed]
