Streamlined solution for GEO and LEO flight dynamics operations

STREAMLINED SOLUTION FOR GEO

AND LEO FLIGHT DYNAMICS OPERATIONS

®

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

Meridian Ground Systems is a turnkey, cost-effective solution for satellite mission operations. Optimizing

common flight dynamics requirements in the GEO and LEO regimes, Meridian Ground Systems accesses

the FreeFlyer® astrodynamics engine through user-friendly graphical interfaces specifically designed for

streamlined spacecraft operations. Meridian Ground Systems provides system-specific planning and

automation capabilities with minimal customization when integrating into a larger ground system, thus

offering flexibility across hardware configurations, operating systems, and mobile platforms.

►Configurable for any

ground system with

a simple component

FLIGHT DYNAMICS FUNCTIONALITY

Meridian is powered by FreeFlyer, the space

mission design, analysis, and operations

software used in more than 250 missions. The

FreeFlyer software and accompanying scripts

are executed by Meridian tasks to generate

flight dynamics products. These tasks span the

daily flight dynamics needs of LEO and GEO

missions and include: orbit determination, orbit

propagation, orbit comparison, view period

and eclipse/solar transit reporting, maneuver

planning/reconstruction/calibration, collision

avoidance, relative motion reporting, and lifetime

analysis. With Meridian, a.i. solutions can rapidly

deliver a cost-effective modern flight dynamics

ground system solution to meet the needs of a

commercial GEO or LEO satellite.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Meridian is deployed as a simple set of software

components: a web application, FreeFlyer

with flight dynamics task scripts, and an internal

database. This architecture allows for flexible

configurations in any ground system, and allows

an operator to interact with Meridian using a

browser on Windows or Linux operating systems.

WEB INTERFACE

The web application is the interface layer for

Meridian and provides access via a web browser

or a REST API. User-based permissions and roles

can be used to configure authenticated levels

of control throughout Meridian. System activity is

logged and can be sorted/filtered to review runs

and troubleshoot any issues. Operator inputs are

stored internally and tied to the resulting products,

making it easy to rerun tasks. The REST API machine

interface allows Meridian to perform automated

processes, ingest telemetry and tracking data,

generate products on demand, and share those

products with other ground system components.
