Welcome!Â
This page serves as a centralized base, covering all things. STK (Systems Tool Kit) is a physics-based simulation and modeling software used to visualize complex real-world scenarios.Â
Some things that you can use STK for // STK can make easier include, but aren't limited to:
- Figuring out when a satellite is overhead a station so you can download your data
- Calculating the maximum time you may be in an eclipse without solar power
- Checking if your deployed solar panels aren't accidentally casting a shadow on each other
- Knowing what geographical targets your payload camera can actually see in orbit
- Determining how much a thunderstorm could mess up your radio signals
- Predicting if space debris may or may not snipe your satellite?!
Your scenario is your oyster!
