Range Safety Range Safety
This VDF depicts a range safety operation for a shuttle launch. Prior to the launch, a Hunter UAV is deployed to survey the restricted waterway downrange of the launch pad. Aircraft routes such as this can be modeled in STK with the Aircraft Mission Modeler, which allows you to design routes based on customizable flight profiles with set performance constraints based on aircraft type. After the launch, dynamic access data is shown for all nearby tracking systems, as is the position and velocity information for the shuttle itself.
