Knowledge and ability to conduct computational analysis of
air and space vehicle flight design for mission
implementation, including sequencing, trajectory
optimization, orbital mechanics, flight mechanics and
celestial mechanics. Use flight design modeling and
simulation tools that determine optimum trajectory
solutions. Includes in-depth analysis of air borne and
ground-based trajectory predictions, automated trajectory
planning and modeling and trajectory negotiation and data
exchange as well as optimization tools which take into
account environmental and design constraints. Involves
analysis of flight dispersion variables and navigation
predict generation.
