Overview
• Use STK with live telemetry feeds
• Professional, Live Presentation– Executive-level views– Hands-off, dynamic views
• Focus– Dynamic text on 3D models
• Model Enhancer Application
– Auto control of VO window view
Pg 3 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Experience with Live Telemetry
• All Titan launches since 1997
• All Atlas launches since 1999
• 3DMSS contract with the Office of Space Launch– Visualize all NRO launches from host of vehicles
• Atlas V• Titan IV• Delta II• Delta IV
• Satellites– After separation from launch vehicle
• A few minutes• Life of vehicle (24/7 live visualization)

Smart View Auto
SendDynam Text
Suite of Real-time Tools
• Java applications
• Completely configurable from the GUI*
• Sends STK commands via CONNECT module
Pg 5 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Dynamically Updated Text on 3D Models DynamText
• Controls display of text on 3D Models– Time-dependent text– Articulation-based control
• Example Scenario
• Example DynamText SW Tool

3D Model Enhancer
• Standalone application
• Allows user to:– Assign text areas to
components of a model
– Resize, re-orient & move the text area
– Auto-load model into STK Modeler of choice
– Save/reload/edit your work
Pg 7 of xxAGI www.agi.com
3D Model Enhancer—Advanced Options
• For each text area: user can specify the characters’…– Translucency
– Backside visibility
– Smooth vs.Sharp edges
– Color/texture use
– Font source• Fidelity, language
– Color/texture source

What model would you like to see?
• From STK’s “Models” directory
• I will:– Add two text areas– Show it to you at the end of this presentation

Auto Control of VO Window View SmartView
• Typical use of STK– STK-savvy operator sitting at terminal– Individual analysis capabilities– An operator controls views
• RTV use of STK– Numerous RTV-driven STK terminals
• no one sitting at terminals
– Broadcast of visualization capabilities to a live customer audience
• Via projectors and video networks
– Automated, precision controlled views needed
Pg 10 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Auto Control of VO Window View SmartView
• Provides autonomous, consistent view capability
• Rotates through designated views– From/To Pointed Sensor
– From/To Spinning Sensors
– From AttachPoint to AttachPoint
– Stored Views
– Plus, dynamic control of overlays
• Telemetry-driven instance of SmartView– Changes views based on:
• Data connectivity• Individual measurand values
