Increasingly complex space missions require powerful and flexible simulation environments in order to design, analyze, and operate the missions. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has created the DSENDS simulation environment that addresses these needs for a wide range of space missions. In this paper, we describe the DSENDS simulation environment and the key architectural components that make DSENDS a useful simulation and analysis framework. We also overview a variety of NASA missions and flight experiments that are using DSENDS.

“…Our development team used Agile methodologies [7] including Scrum principles [8] to define short-term incremental releases on a two-to-three week development cycle. Each cycle typically involved a review of the prior DSENDS functionality and code, planning of how to adapt or rewrite the code, implementing the desired re-coding, and writing related regression tests.…”

The Dartslab team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has a long history of developing physics-based simulations based on the Darts/Dshell simulation framework that have been used to simulate many planetary robotic missions, such as the Cassini spacecraft and the rovers that are currently driving on Mars. Recent collaboration efforts between the Dartslab team at JPL and the Mission Operations Directorate (MOD) at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) have led to significant enhancements to the Dartslab DSENDS software framework. The new version of DSENDS is now being used for new planetary mission simulations at JPL. JSC is using DSENDS as the foundation for a suite of software known as COMPASS that is the basis for their new human space mission simulations and analysis. In this paper, we will describe the collaborative process with the JPL Dartslab and the JSC MOD team that resulted in the redesign and enhancement of the DSENDS software. We will outline the improvements in DSENDS that simplify creation of new high-fidelity robotic/spacecraft simulations. We will illustrate how DSENDS simulations are assembled and show results from several mission simulations.
