The DET/MPS programs model and simulate the Direct Energy Transfer and
Multimission Spacecraft Modular Power System in order to aid both in design
and in analysis of orbital energy balance. Typically, the DET power system
has the solar array directly to the spacecraft bus, and the central building
block of MPS is the Standard Power Regulator Unit.
DET/MPS allows a minute-by-minute
simulation of the power system's performance as it responds to
various orbital parameters, focusing its output on solar array output and
battery characteristics. While this package is limited in terms of orbital
mechanics, it is sufficient to calculate eclipse and solar array data for
circular or non-circular orbits.
DET/MPS can be adjusted to run one or sequential
orbits up to about one week, simulated time. These programs have
been used on a variety of Goddard Space Flight Center spacecraft projects.
DET/MPS carries the NASA case numbers GSC-13443 and GSC-13444. It was originally released as part of the NASA COSMIC collection.
