Sumario:This project is part of a bigger project called Plathon and consists of the study, application and adaptation of NASA’s orbital simulator 42 to the Plathon project. For this purpose, the program has been studied with several test simulations in order to better understand its inner workings and to test the possibilities and limitations of the simulator. After that, a series of modifications and standalone codes, using Matlab, have been implemented to better fit the simulator into the project and to allow for better post-processing of the obtained data. On top of that, the integration of the simulator with the Plathon project will also be discussed.
