Access to the service for the design and numerical simulation of space missions “Orbita.Challenge” is intended both for conducting courses and competitions by astronautics, and for project management & nbsp; space missions in school and student teams. Service work is carried out in online with the organization of group access without the need to install software on a PC.

Key functions of the service:

Use of professional tools for numerical simulation of the operation of spacecraft in Earth's orbit, including ballistics, orbital maneuvering, spacecraft orientation, energy balance calculation, temperature regimes, and others;
Simulation of onboard equipment, the possibility of developing spacecraft control algorithms;
Catalog of task templates on various topics of design and numerical simulation of space missions, including complementary ones and expanding space engineering courses.
Ability to create your own tasks with automatic evaluation of results;
Possibility to create arbitrary courses, tests, competitions, including those with group participation and automatic standings;
Free design mode with analysis of mission results in the form of telemetry graphs and 3D visualization.
Teaching materials, including a course in celestial mechanics, specially designed for courses based on the system.
