Spiros, the mail list doesn’t allow large attachments, so had to remove the screenshot I put in. Google Search “DellSat-77 Satellite” for images. I am working on developing early hardware to be put together as education kits in comms, propulsion, command/data handling for space 3.0 community students (engineers in training?)

Is it (in recent versions) an effective Space Systems Engineering tool? I am using SysML module within Dassault Aviation / No Magic – MagicDraw and it comes out of the gate with enough tools to do systems engineering courses | documentation | modeling. See picture attached of “DellSat-77 Satellite” which is described fully in “SysML Distilled A Brief Guide” by Lenny Delligatti. Fascinating. But only issue, the ‘demo’ license is limited and you cannot generate any code without a full license – if that is something your teams want to do (read chapter 1). So – free – Eclipse Papyrus + SysML is on my immediate radar. Any other possibilities? Please discuss. Also, Spiros, undergraduate or graduate programs? US or non-US (ITAR restricted) domains? All will influence your toolchain. Don’t get into a toolchain and find out later you can’t expand on it.

From the few choices available, I understand GMAT is the only open-source (free) one, and that it is kept updated and NASA certified so it seems like an ideal candidate. I started going through the manual and the tutorials and for the time being they are detailed enough to get someone started. We're still not sure how to integrate the tool in our academic programme, but we have a few ideas - mainly exercises that validate (or discredit) mission analyses that students have conducted in their previous space systems engineering classes How have you used GMAT in conjunction with your teaching? Do you perhaps have any publicly available material for us to refer to, such as tutorials (other than those included in the manual), script examples or exercises? Unfortunately, the website mentioned in the manual and videos don't work anymore. Is there an online community, other than this list, like a forum, a social media group or anything of the sort that is still alive and active? To be honest, I'm not sure if this very list is active - hopefully, it is!
