Purpose

The DigitalSats project's purpose is to upgrade the NASA GMAT simulator software for use by students and hobbyists as well as the SmallSat industry.

With the advent of the CubeSat, the cost of building and launching satellites has come down by a factor of 1,000, enough to be within the reach of small groups. This is a repeat of the PC phenomena in the 1970's and the Internet in the 1990's: a low barrier to entry and a huge payoff for the successful techno-entrepreneur. It will be fun to watch it.

This repository contains the software needed to create a virtual machine for NASA Generalized Mission Analysis Tool plug-in development.
