De Wiki
Welcome to the OPERA wiki, a CNES flight dynamics tool.
DESCRIPTION
- OPERA is a CNES tool allowing to estimate long and middle term Earth reentry dates (some months to one week in advance) thanks to TLE.
- It allows also to compute the information on other parameters as S/M or maneuvers previously occured.
- At last, OPERA is able to generate automatic PDF reports with a synthesis of maneuver activity of a given object.
- The current version is: V7.2.
- Describes evolutions tanks to previous versions.
USE IT
- Where to download it.
- First steps with OPERA
- OPERA may be used very quickly via its GUI facilitating context elaboration and results exploitation. No code knowledge is necessary.
- It is also possible to use it in batch mode via a shell and especially on grid computers with no display properties.
- On the other hand, it is also possible to use it via its Java interface inside a higher level tool (for example, an orbit determination tool or a maneuver optimization tool).
DOCUMENTATION
- Description of the methods and algorithms used.
- Access to current and old Java doc.
- Describes dependencies with other products.
- List the main evolutions of this Wiki.
REMARKS
- As it is coded in Java, this product is available for any kind of platforms owning Java. An executable jar (launching the GUI) including all dependencies is provided.
- OPERA will be provided soon as a Freeware under a CNES specific license via this site.
PREVIOUS VERSIONS
- version 7.1: Java 1.6 version.
